Amanda Persaud, Ph.D.
New York City-based Licensed Clinical Psychologist #026204
Welcome!
As a licensed clinical psychologist based in New York City, I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and move toward meaningful growth. With over 12 years of experience, I support clients facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, and major life transitions, as well as those seeking deeper self-understanding and personal development.
My work is informed by a strong interest in the ways identity, culture, and environment shape emotional life. I help clients explore how their racial, ethnic, familial, and sociopolitical contexts influence their sense of self, relationships, and coping patterns... often in subtle or inherited ways. Living and practicing in a diverse, creatively vibrant city, I am also drawn to the role of art and storytelling as pathways to insight, expression, and healing.
At the heart of my practice is the belief that each person’s story is intertwined with the cultural and structural landscapes around them. I aim to provide a therapeutic space where clients can explore not just their struggles, but also their histories, identities, and aspirations, ultimately fostering greater clarity, authenticity, and emotional well-being.

Compassionate and Evidence-based Care
MY APPROACH
Through active listening and a stance of genuine curiosity, I work to understand each client’s unique experiences and the cultural, relational, and emotional contexts that shape them. I draw from contemporary psychological and neuroscientific research to guide the therapeutic process, integrating evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based strategies, and interpersonal therapy when they are helpful and appropriate.
​
I view therapy as a collaborative process. Together, we identify meaningful goals and create personalized pathways toward growth, healing, and greater clarity. My approach emphasizes helping clients reconnect with their strengths, deepen their self-awareness, and build resilience in the face of life’s challenges.
​
Above all, I strive to cultivate a therapeutic space grounded in compassion, respect, and attunement—one where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to explore their inner worlds and the environments that shape them.
