I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Florida with a PhD in Family Relations from The Florida State University as well as an MS in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Kentucky and a BA in Psychology from The University of South Florida.
I understand that starting therapy can be scary and I strive to make your experience I positive one. I believe therapy should be a collaboration between therapist and client. You know your situation better than I do. I will combine my therapeutic expertise with your expertise about you, your family, and your situation to create workable solutions for you. I operate from an approach that draws on your strengths to help you and your family function the best it can!
I am an LGBT affirmative therapist with a passion for helping families. I specialize in working with parents, children, adolescents, survivors of trauma, and LGBT clients. I am also a certified Relationship Enhancement instructor.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

- 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.

Dr. Amanda is awesome!! She listens to you and helps you in every way possible...... she makes you dig deep for answers, which pushed me to open up more. She is awesome!!
I really appreciated Amanda's insight and her words were very eye-opening and helpful for me. I would absolutely recommend her and this service in the future.
It's been a few months now with Dr.Veldorale-Griffin, and I can't begin to describe the amount of credit I give her for getting me where I am today. She's supportive, progressive, and just over all extremely helpful. I can confidently say that she's helped me finally begin to really put all the pieces back together that I was so sure were broken. Very excited to continue this journey!
Not only is Dr.Veldorale-Griffin extremely sweet, she's very real and knows how to handle the information that is provided to her. I feel very safe, and have developed a trust to where I know I can open up in the most honest way, which I haven't been able to do in a while. She knows what to say, what to suggest, and listens very well. Already seeing results in myself because of her. Glad I was provided with her help!
