Amanda K. Reilly, LMHC, CCHT
My path to becoming a psychotherapist was born out of a genuine curiosity in human nature and an enjoyment for supporting people as they navigate hard things. Working with me, I’ll help you break free from anxiety, self-doubt, and manage feelings you may be grappling with. I’d like to help you gain new coping strategies so you can feel better and enjoy your day more fully. My orientation for therapy is informed through evidence-based modalities, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and somatic therapy, which means I’ll bring practical tools to change negative thought patterns and behaviors, and body-based practices for mind-body connection and a sense of calm.
I earned my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from NYU and my undergraduate degree in Holistic Psychology from Lesley University. I went on to study hypnosis, yoga, and explored psychedelics to deepen my understanding of both my own psychology and the collective human psyche. I bring eight years of clinical experience as a hypnotherapist, including work with PTSD, addiction, and chronic pain at Hudson Medical in the West Village, as well as leading creativity workshops with Soho House New York.
Anxiety, ADHD, and issues relating to self-esteem are what I specialize in working with. Outside of my practice, I am also an artist and a new mother, which deepens my interest in supporting creatives as well as individuals who are navigating pregnancy and parenthood.
If you’re looking for therapy that’s collaborative, practical, and designed to help you feel good, perhaps I can help.
IN THERAPY, WE WORK WITH YOUR WHOLE PSYCHE
PAST
Trace the roots—the myths, wounds, & defenses that shaped how you move through the world.
PRESENT
Bring awareness to what’s alive—your thoughts, patterns, projections, and the energy of this moment.
FUTURE
Listen for what’s calling—your potential, purpose, and the self that wants to unfold.
