About
Amanda Hager approaches therapy as an active, collaborative process that is flexible and responsive to each person’s changing needs. She prioritizes getting to know clients as whole individuals and explores how lived experiences - including the influence of oppressive systems, transgenerational narratives, culture, community, family, and societal norms - have shaped their overall well-being.
She intentionally moves away from Eurocentric models that treat people as a collection of symptoms to be “fixed.” Instead, Amanda centers clients’ strengths and resources, supporting them in building emotional foundations and working toward greater wellness.
Amanda has substantial experience with eating disorders, ADHD, high-risk thoughts and behaviors, and with queer and transgender clients. She also works with eating disorders in gay men, complex grief and loss including loss through suicide, parents of transgender teens and adults, people living with HIV/AIDS, and BIPOC clients.
The therapeutic environment she offers is open and judgment free, providing space for conversations that clients may not be able to have in their daily lives. Amanda is a licensed professional counselor in New Jersey (NJ LPC 37PC00884200) and has 8 years of clinical experience practicing in New Jersey.

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?
Many people ask whether online therapy can make a meaningful difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the format that suits them best, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy schedule and maintain continuity of care.
Therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and individuals may choose to switch therapists if they prefer a different fit. Online care can be a practical option for many people seeking support for everyday mental health concerns.
