Care Philosophy: Talkspace partners with care providers who find satisfaction in providing therapy in a way that prioritizes the client's convenience and preferences. Because all therapy takes place virtually, through messaging, live virtual sessions, or both, providers can communicate more frequently and casually in comparison to traditional face-to-face therapy. Talkspace treatment methods are supported by scientific research and are committed to non-judgmental care that is inclusive and respectful of cultural and other identities. Talkspace patients are matched with the best provider for them based on their needs and availability during the registration process. Once matched with a provider, patients may change at any time, and may contact support to request a specific provider. *The above is attributed to Talkspace and not the provider.*

Biography: Welcome! Thank you for taking the first step towards healing and growth! My name is Amanda Favretto and I'm a licensed to practice in both New York (LMHC) and Virginia (LPC). I've worked in both inpatient and outpatient setting with individuals, couples, and families. I believe in meeting each individual where they are at emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually. I utilize many different treatment approaches including CBT, DBT, EMDR, and others. I truly believe that if a person's heart and mind are even slightly willing they can grow, heal, and become the best version of themselves. We continue to grow throughout our lives and in my experience I've come to see that the healing process is just as much about unbecoming as becoming. We are shaped by experiences from early childhood through adulthood and unfortunately, on occasion we develop unrealistic expectations, beliefs, or perceptions about ourselves, others, or the world around us. This can cause us to be fearful, apprehensive and hinder peace and contentment, as well as our ability to experience feelings such as joy. Self-compassion is one of the first steps towards growth and long-lasting healing of the inner-child/the emotional mind. In my experience I find that 45 minute sessions tend to be more effective; however, I also have 30 minute time slots as I understand that busy schedules my require it. Please let me know if you have a preference and do not see a particular spot open. I consider it a privilege to be able to walk with individuals through their journeys. I send prayer and well wishes on your journey! ***Full disclosure- As of right now the plan is for me to to be a part of Betterhelp for the next 3-4 months. There is a chance that this will be extended depending on when my future position opens up. If you are looking for brief or solution-focused therapy, want to get a feel for therapy itself, or desire a few months of therapy to work through a particular concern you have please feel free to schedule.

Care Philosophy: Talkspace partners with care providers who find satisfaction in providing therapy in a way that prioritizes the clients convenience and preferences. Because all therapy takes place virtually, through messaging, live virtual sessions, or both, providers can communicate more frequently and casually in comparison to traditional face-to-face therapy. Talkspace treatment methods are supported by scientific research and are committed to non-judgmental care that is inclusive and respectful of cultural and other identities. Talkspace patients are matched with the best provider for them based on their needs and availability during the registration process. Once matched with a provider, patients may change at any time, and may contact support to request a specific provider. *The above is attributed to Talkspace and not the provider.*
