Amanda Nicole Primm, MS.Ed, LMHC, Therapist in Garden City, New York

Amanda is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with more than 3 years of specializing with clients with acute and persistent mental illness. Some of these diagnoses include depression, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, psychosis, substance abuse disorders, and other diagnoses from the DSM-5. Amanda typically treats patients between the ages of 17 and 90, where she provides a non-judgmental environment that clients can express themselves comfortably and freely. In addition, she typically seeks to utilize a holistic approach with clients, due to believing that therapy is not always a “”one-size-fits all”” process. During sessions, Amanda typically applies an eclectic group of techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT skills, mindfulness, strength-based training, motivational interviewing, and positive psychology. In her free time, she typically enjoys hiking, walking with her dogs, going to the gym, drawing, and listening to music or playing the ukulele. Amanda received her Master of Science in Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. John’s University. She obtained her Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Psychology of Children with Exceptionalities from SUNY Cortland.
