About Amanda
Dr. Amanda Veldorale-Griffin is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 17 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with self esteem, anxiety, grief, trauma, and relationship concerns. Her approach is collaborative and practical, aiming to make the first steps of therapy feel manageable and respectful.
She practices in Oregon and brings a background in family relations and marriage and family therapy to her work. Sessions center on the client's goals and everyday challenges. She listens first, then helps people identify small, realistic changes they can try between sessions.
Her work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize each person's perspective. Emotionally-focused techniques are used to help people understand patterns in attachment and intimacy. Solution-focused strategies guide short-term goal setting when clients want clear steps and measurable progress.
Dr. Veldorale-Griffin often addresses family of origin issues, communication problems, caregiver stress, and concerns related to gender and sexuality. She also supports people navigating parenting questions, non-monogamous relationship dynamics, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination on self worth.
Therapy conversations may include skill-building for managing anger, mood changes, and eating-related distress. She aims to create a space where someone can talk through painful experiences and try practical ways to feel steadier in daily life.
