Meet Amanda Harmon, LCSW
Therapist and Counselor in Fairfield County, CT.
Life is hard…You don’t have to carry this all on your own.
Fun Facts
Do you prefer coffee or tea?
Coffee all day (and sometimes night) long. Dark roast with half and half, it is my last vice.
Who is your favorite musical artist?
It is too hard to pick a favorite! I love everything from 90’s Hip Hop to to Noah Kahan to Ani DiFranco.
What’s one hobby you enjoy outside of therapy?
I love to cook. I can be creative and focused on what I am doing rather than be in my head about other things.
What’s a small thing that instantly makes your day better?
In a perfect world going for a walk in the sun by the Ocean, but typically doing some good stretching and taking deep breaths.
What is your ideal Saturday?
Getting to sleep in a little bit, going out for breakfast someplace local with my kids and ending the day with a fire pit.
I’m Amanda Harmon, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience supporting adults through the complicated, messy, and sometimes overwhelming parts of life. I work with clients navigating midlife, relationships, perimenopause, anxiety, parenthood, fertility challenges and pregnancy, life transitions, executive functioning challenges, and the pressure that often comes with trying to manage everything at once.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked in outpatient mental health, schools, higher education, nonprofit settings, and private practice. For nearly 15 years, I have maintained a private practice serving clients throughout Fairfield County and beyond. I currently offer in-person therapy in Trumbull and Greenwich, Connecticut, as well as telehealth for clients in Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, and Florida.
My style as a therapist is warm, direct, relational, and individualized. I believe therapy works best when you have a space where you can be honest, feel understood, and show up as yourself. We’ll work together to understand what isn’t working, recognize what you need, and make changes that feel meaningful and realistic for your life.
You don't have to wait until things feel unmanageable to ask for support.
PLEASE HEAR ME WHEN I SAY:
Taking the first step is always the hardest, but I am here to help you take it.
How I work
At the core of my approach to therapy is the belief that everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and understood.
Therapy with me is warm, honest, and collaborative. You’ll have a nonjudgmental space to talk about what is really going on—not just the version of yourself you show everyone else. Together, we’ll make sense of what feels overwhelming, identify what you need, and find realistic ways to create more room for yourself in your own life.
You spend a lot of time taking care of everything and everyone around you. Your needs matter, too.

I will work with you to develop the treatment plan that works best for your needs.
-
Sometimes therapy can be hard, it is a place where we can keep it real with each other, and that means being vulnerable.
-
I am not here to judge you, whatever you choices, I support your choice to make them.
-
I am here to help you be seen and see yourself. We can work on embracing that or changing the things that you want to change.
Therapy with me is…
