I have been a therapist since 2014 when I graduated with my masters degree in social work from North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC. After graduating with my bachelors in social work in 2012 and working for a year at a homeless shelter, I knew there was more that I wanted to be doing, which led me back to school to continue my education. I finished all of my clinical hours for licensure in April of 2018, which is when I became an LCSW.

About online counseling

There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Amanda has been absolutely amazing! I was very uncomfortable with the thought of therapy but finally made the decision to at least try and honestly I’m so glad I did. She has been so patient and understanding throughout this whole process; she’s helped me so much and for that I’m thankful!

Reviewed February 2020

My therapist, Amanda Wentz, has been absolutely incredible. I was so worried about starting this that I almost canceled my first session right before it started because I’ve always had kind of an aversion to therapy, but I followed through and it was the best decision I’ve made for myself. She’s the reason I can say that! She’s the best!
