Amanda Gale, LCSW, CSW-PIP

Amanda Gale, LCSW, CSW-PIP, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings 12 years of clinical experience and a broader 21-year background in social work services. She supports people navigating everyday stressors while also addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, feelings of inadequacy, and the need for stronger coping and problem-solving skills. Her work has included individual, group, and family therapy, and she has experience helping with both personal challenges and professional or work-related stressors.

Amanda takes a supportive, person-centered approach grounded in recovery-based principles, emphasizing the client’s voice, choices, and direction in therapy. She views her role as a guide and mentor, collaborating with each client to create a practical, choice-based plan while building coping skills and personal strengths. She is also intentional about helping clients identify supportive relationships and place those supports in roles that feel healthiest and most helpful, including in intimate, family, and professional settings.

She values brief, skills-focused work and often aims for short-term therapy, commonly around 8 to 12 sessions, to help clients develop confidence and tools they can continue applying in daily life. After that timeframe, she can provide ongoing supportive therapy as needed. Amanda is also mindful of caregiver stress, including the challenges of supporting loved ones through mental illness or changes related to disease processes, and she works to help caregivers strengthen their resilience and sense of support.
