Hello, my name is Amanda Grippi. I am a licensed counselor in both Missouri and Illinois. I earned my Master's degree from Southern Illinois University with a focus in community psychology and I have been in practice for over 20 years. In addition to helping people with Anxiety and Depression, I have advanced training in neurodivergence including ADHD and Autism as well as trauma. I also have extensive experience working with members who identify as LGBTQ+.

You look like you have it all together on the outside - but internally, something still feels "off," and you can't fully explain why.

You think things through. You're self-aware. You've tried to figure this out on your own. But you still feel stuck in patterns you can't quite shift.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW/LSCSW) in KS and MO with 12+ years of experience across medical, nonprofit, and mental health settings.

I work primarily with anxiety, stress, relationship dynamics, and identity-related challenges - especially for women (18 and over) who feel "off" but can't explain why. Most of the women I work with are thoughtful, high-functioning, and fully capable - but quietly overwhelmed, overthinking, or disconnected from themselves.

This isn't about trying harder or collecting more coping skills. It's about understanding what's actually driving things underneath the surface, so things can finally start to make sense - and shift in a real, lasting way.

If this sounds like you, this is exactly the work we do - and you don't have to keep trying to figure this out on your own.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience in both inpatient psychiatric settings and outpatient therapy. I earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Social Work from Missouri State University, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based, client-centered care.

My background includes working with individuals across a range of needs, from acute crisis stabilization to ongoing therapeutic support. I have extensive experience helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, self-harm, anger, aggression, and oppositional defiant behaviors. I am also trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which I frequently use to help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while building practical coping strategies.

My commitment to you is simple: I will listen carefully, communicate openly, and act with integrity in every interaction. I’ll take the time to understand your unique goals, challenges, and values, and I’ll tailor my approach to meet your needs rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. You can expect transparency from me at every step. I’ll explain not only what I recommend, but why I recommend it, so you always feel informed and empowered to make decisions.
