Licensed Clinical Psychotherapist and Counselor
Virtual Therapist for Clients Across New York

Welcome! I’m Amanda Veras, the founder of True Self Therapy and a licensed psychotherapist offering therapy for individuals across New York State.

​

I specialize in supporting people who crave a space to feel seen, heard, and understood. I work with people dealing with anxiety, life stressors, sadness, life transitions, low self worth, the effects of trauma, people pleasing tendencies, heartbreak, infidelity and much more.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate and personalized. I draw from evidence-based modalities including but not limited to CBT, Somatic Therapy, IFS, psychoanalytic explorations. Together, we’ll tailor therapy to your needs so you can explore your emotions, understand your patterns, and move toward real, sustainable change.

​

As a therapist licensed in New York, I offer secure online sessions so you can access therapy from the comfort and privacy of your own space, whether you're in Manhattan, Rochester, Albany, or anywhere in between. I offer a space where you can feel safe to be fully

yourself while healing. My goal is to support you in exploring and processing life experiences, while helping you build the skills you need to navigate challenges, manage emotions, and create lasting change. I will highlight your strengths and I’ll also gently call you out when something isn’t serving you. 

Working with me means having a therapist who listens intuitively, offers guidance, and empowers YOU to trust yourself as you take intentional steps toward your full potential. You can expect compassion, honesty, and a nonjudgmental presence. I will empower you to explore your emotions, thoughts and reach your personal goals. 

​

If you're ready to start therapy,​ I am here to support you every step of the way. Please know that growth often starts with a little discomfort. Therapy is a courageous investment in yourself, and you're worthy of that care. If you're ready to begin your therapy journey, I invite you to take that first step. 

Prioritize yourself and feel growth happen! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
