Amanda Martell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have been working with women and children for the past decade in a myriad of settings. I truly believe this wide range of experience in areas such as preventive, clinical, schools, shelters, etc. has given me a holistic understanding of the various needs of my clients. I bring this knowledge, my own background and experiences, and my clinical experience into therapy in order to provide a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment that promotes healing - no matter what a person's need or trauma is.

Earlyn Sharpe
Counselor/Therapist, M.A., M.Ed, MHCP, NLP, ND
I know life does not always work out as planned. When these situations arise, you need an unbiased, non-judgemental, trained professional to help you navigate life challenges. At my practice, I offer a unique blend of counselling and coaching strategies, integrating evidence-based therapies like CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), RECBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy), Hypnotherapy, and EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) into my sessions, mainly specializing in individual and couples counselling. This holistic approach allows me to address mental health challenges, personal growth, and relationship dynamics comprehensively.
I facilitate coaching strategies by leveraging strengths-based approaches and motivational techniques to empower clients to achieve their desired outcomes. I simplify goal-setting, provide accountability, and offer practical strategies to navigate obstacles and maximize potential of my clients.
Clients often commend my empathetic and collaborative approach, emphasizing the transformative impact of our work together. They appreciate the practical tools and insights gained, empowering them to navigate life's complexities with resilience and clarity.
I encourage you to reach out if you seek practical support to overcome challenges, enhance relationships, and achieve personal goals.
Let's collaborate to create positive changes in your life. Together, we can embark on a healing, growth, and fulfillment journey. Contact me today to take the first step towards a brighter tomorrow.

Maricia Thompson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I am a New York based LCSW with a passion and a vigor for helping others on their mental health journey. My therapy approach comes from a place of compassion where one of my main goals is making sure my client feel as supported, heard and empowered as possible. Therapy is not a one size fits all and the approach used with each client individually should reflect this. I help each client articulate their thoughts and feelings in order to get a better understanding of what is causing their depression/anxiety/stress/unhappiness. I approach therapy from an integrative perspective, taking interest in the clients cultural background and experiences and tailoring a therapeutic modality that is the best fit for them.
Just like therapy, healing is also not a one size fits all and I understand that making the first steps into therapy, and towards that healing, may have been a difficult decision and I applaud your courage for making that first step. With your desire for change and my commitment to support and empower you, we will navigate a pace that works best for you to strengthen all aspects of your body and mind and the connection they have to each other.
