Amanda Grant, LCSW

Amanda Grant is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 14 years of experience. She works with people facing relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and self-esteem issues. Her practice also addresses blended family issues alongside attachment, adoption and foster care concerns, and effects of early childhood trauma.

Amanda has served in clinical, supervisory, and administrative roles. That background informs how she organizes sessions and thinks about progress. She prefers direct, practical conversation and helps people name what feels out of balance in everyday life.

In sessions she discusses how attachment patterns and past hurt shape current relationships. She pays attention to sexual trauma and early childhood experiences when these show up in adult behavior and intimacy. She also works with parents and caregivers who are managing stress or tricky family dynamics.

Her approach is hands-on and focused on skills people can use between sessions. That can mean practicing communication strategies, setting clearer boundaries, or breaking down a difficult situation into manageable steps. Amanda encourages steady change rather than quick fixes.

She often supports people who are shifting roles in their households, such as blending two households or navigating co-parenting with an ex. Amanda asks practical questions about routines and responsibilities and helps people try new ways of handling day-to-day tensions. The goal is clearer patterns and fewer repeated conflicts.

To begin she asks people to describe current problems and what they want to be different. From there she and the client set short-term goals and review progress over time. Amanda uses her clinical experience to adapt the work to each person's needs.
