Dr. Amanda Layman, Psychologist
About me
As a licensed psychologist in New Jersey, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions, personal growth, and emotional challenges. My practice focuses on helping clients develop stronger self-understanding, improve communication skills, and build resilience through compassionate, evidence-based approaches.
I have extensive experience working with young adults, women, and LGBTQ+ individuals addressing diverse concerns including social anxiety, family dynamics, stress management, and personal development. My therapeutic approach centers on creating a supportive, affirming environment where clients can explore their experiences, develop coping strategies, and cultivate meaningful personal growth.
My work is deeply committed to understanding each individual's unique journey, offering personalized support that honors their lived experiences and empowers them to create positive change. I approach therapy as a collaborative process, walking alongside my clients with empathy, respect, and genuine care.
