Dr. Amanda Ferrari , LCSW

Dr. Amanda Ferrari is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Connecticut with nine years of clinical experience. As an LCSW she brings professional training in mental health assessment and psychotherapy, helping people navigate challenges such as ADHD, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and depression. Her practice also addresses a broad range of related concerns including bipolar disorder, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, compassion fatigue, and issues common to LGBT, family, and young adult populations.

She approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, grounded in the belief that each person is the expert in their own life and already possesses resources that can support change. Dr. Ferrari emphasizes collaboration, listening carefully to individual goals and tailoring practical strategies to day-to-day obstacles. Taking the first step toward greater well-being is acknowledged as an act of courage, and she aims to offer steady support and practical tools throughout that process.

Dr. Ferrari integrates approaches that promote self-awareness, emotion regulation, and improved communication, helping clients build skills for coping with life transitions, impulsivity, social anxiety, seasonal mood changes, and difficulties with self-love and guilt. Her work is focused on meeting people where they are and helping them move toward clearer goals and healthier relationships.
