Rene Amsterdam, LMSW

My approach to therapy is caring, compassionate, and respectful of each individual’s unique journey. I believe that you are the expert on your own life, and I strive to incorporate this into my sessions. I am here to meet you where you are and to hold your hand as we therapeutically work through life’s challenges.

Prior to joining Therapy Today, I worked in various areas of social work including substance use counseling, medical social work, home based therapy for children and private practice.

In my spare time, I enjoy traveling with my husband, going for walks, and watching movies. I also enjoy trying new foods and experiencing new cultures. I moved to the United States from the Caribbean as a child and have since enjoyed immersing myself in new cultural experiences.
