Choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision. At The EmpowHERment Collective, we believe the best therapy begins with finding the right fit.
Our team brings together clinicians with diverse specialties and therapeutic approaches so we can thoughtfully match each client with the provider who best meets their unique needs. While each therapist brings their own expertise and style, we all share a commitment to compassionate, evidence-based care that helps women, children, teens, couples, and families feel seen, supported, and empowered.

Amanda Larson, MSW, LSW
Amanda Larson, MSW, LSW, is a Licensed Social Worker in New Jersey, holding a Master's in Social Work from Rutgers University. She has a wealth of experience working with young adults, adults, and older adults in both outpatient settings and crisis intervention, complemented by certified training in grief and loss work and group therapy.
Amanda is committed to helping you navigate a range of topics, including grief, life transitions, trauma, chronic illness, medical experiences, anxiety, and depression. Her sessions are warm and unhurried, creating a safe and supportive environment to share and process your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
Amanda's approach is inclusive and grief- and trauma-informed, weaving mindfulness techniques into traditional talk therapy. She also recognizes that grief can manifest in many ways—not just through the loss of loved ones, but also through the loss of dreams, health, identity, and the futures we once envisioned. Drawing on training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Prolonged Grief Therapy (PGT), each session is tailored to the needs and goals you identify.
Amanda brings decades of experience building meaningful relationships into this second career, following twenty years in documentary filmmaking, nonprofits, and education. Her passion for compassionate mental health support is further shaped by early work in community health and veterinary medicine, and by lived experience as a cancer patient. She volunteers with Good Grief, a family bereavement center, and FORCE, a national nonprofit supporting hereditary cancer patients and their families.
Amanda is a great fit for you if you are...
Grieving the loss of a loved one, a relationship, your health, or the future you imagined.
