Amanda Weintraub LICSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 10 years of experience providing psychotherapy to children, adolescents, adults, and families. My style is warm, engaging, and dynamic, and I believe meaningful change happens within a collaborative, supportive, and attachment-based therapeutic relationship.

I specialize in working with individuals experiencing trauma, PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety, and depression, with a particular focus on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR is an evidence-based trauma therapy that can help individuals process distressing experiences, reduce the emotional intensity associated with traumatic memories, and develop healthier ways of responding to present-day triggers.

EMDR & EMDR Intensives

In addition to traditional weekly therapy, I offer EMDR Intensives for clients who would benefit from longer, more focused sessions. Rather than limiting trauma work to a standard therapy hour, an intensive allows us to dedicate an extended block of time to EMDR treatment and work more deeply and continuously toward a specific therapeutic goal.

EMDR Intensives may be especially helpful for individuals who feel stuck in traditional weekly therapy, are addressing a particular traumatic experience or trigger, or simply prefer a more concentrated approach to treatment. The intensive format is individualized to each client and begins with careful assessment, preparation, and treatment planning.

My clinical approach also incorporates Internal Family Systems (IFS) and mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I believe that clients bring important strengths, insight, and expertise to the therapeutic process, and those strengths help guide our work together.

I am deeply committed to understanding the ways culture, socioeconomic factors, identity, and systems of privilege influence our experiences. I value diversity and inclusion and strive to create an environment in which people of all ages, races, sexual orientations, gender identities, backgrounds, and beliefs feel welcomed and respected.
