Amita Saini, M.A., J.D., LAPC

Amita’s path to becoming a therapist wasn’t linear — and that’s one of her strengths. She started out as an EMT working with Easton Emergency Squad. After several years as a first responder, she decided to go into law, studying the intersection of mental health and justice. Later on she spent years leading operations in real estate development and working as a couples and family mediator. However, a consistent thread throughout her life has been a deep interest in understanding people — how they hurt, how they heal, and how they move forward. That curiosity eventually led her to pursue a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and shift fully into the work she finds most meaningful today.

In her clinical experience, Amita has supported individuals in both residential and outpatient settings who were working through substance use, trauma, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, adjustment to life transitions, and more. She integrates evidence-based approaches like EMDR, CBT and DBT, and draws from trauma-informed care, internal family systems, and attachment theory to tailor therapy to each person’s needs. She also incorporates harm reduction strategies where appropriate and integrates EMDR into clinical treatment. In addition to traumatic stress, this technique can be used to address addiction, depression, anxiety, grief, phobias, codependency, self-esteem, and for work and educational performance enhancement.

Clients often tell her they feel seen, heard, and genuinely supported in their work together. Her goal is to create a space that feels both safe and purposeful — where they can explore what’s holding them back, reconnect with their inner resilience, and build toward the life they want to live.

Amita currently practices under the supervision of a licensed psychologist and professional counselor, as she continues to grow and deepen her skills as a clinician.
