It’s easy to get stuck and confused about who you are and how to find meaning in life. Do you want to know yourself better? Would you like to explore the things impacting your relationships? Are you curious about the people, places, things, and experiences that helped define your thoughts, feelings, fantasies, and attractions? These conversations are complex and not often a prioritized part of life. Many have not found the words for these parts of themselves. We are often bound by cultural conditions, traumas, and obstacles that hold us back from connecting to an aliveness that promotes healing and moves us forward in life.

The passion for the work that I do comes from my deep conviction that everyone can benefit from, and in fact deserves, a safe space to be truly heard, seen, and understood. I enjoy working with individuals of all ages and backgrounds, and have experience/ training in supporting clients struggling with a wide range of mental health issues including depression, anxiety, substance use, grief, shame, trauma/PTSD, bipolar disorder, and psychosis. I do not ascribe to a one size fits all model of therapy and believe every client to be unique both in terms of there personal goals for therapy and the best way to help them reach these goals

Being human is complex and sometimes painful. With a foundation of trauma-sensitive mindfulness, I collaboratively create a client-centered space for individuals and couples to uncover obstacles that block aliveness, connection, safety, and joy. With an awake heart, clarity, and nonjudgmental presence, I help clients find perspective, make meaning of difficulties, access innate wisdom, and gain skills to emerge into freedom. From queer lineages and Celtic ancestry, I am a queer, gender-variant-femme, poet and Buddhist practitioner who derives inspiration and purpose from the forces of nature, meditation, and relationships.

There is a way through this. We will find it together. I believe in the power of authentic expression and deep relationships. I incorporate contemplative, somatic, and social justice approaches in my counseling. I work with adults focusing on identity, gender, and relationships. I provide a collaborative approach utilizing mind-body and present moment awareness to support you in connecting with your intrinsic health and inherent wisdom. As meditator, dancer, and gardener I value time to reflect, slow down, be with nature, and developing our capacity to move from the heart with courage and gentleness.

Dr. Sara Lewis is Associate Professor and Chair of Contemplative Psychotherapy and Buddhist Psychology, and Faculty Co-Director for Psychedelic Studies at Naropa University.

I specialize in blending somatic trauma therapy and attachment repatterning. This kind of work is most effective in treating issues that traditional talk therapy has the hardest time treating. Incorporating ketamine into this approach allows quicker access to incredibly deep and subtle personal material.

Welcome! As we work together I will honor your inherent healthiness. If you are experiencing PTSD, trauma, grief, loss, divorce, depression, anxiety, anger, denial, co-dependency, addictions, or need self-care and empowerment, you have choices. I can help you to be brave enough to weather personal storms, tender enough to be vulnerable, resilient enough to succeed, and confident enough to trust your own wisdom. Together we'll take a non-judgmental and honest look at "how and why" you do what you do, in order to inspire positive change. I invite you to explore the possibilities. Individuals and couples. (No insurance for couples)

Are you ready to be transformed by this work? Are you ready for deep, lasting change? Do you have a nagging sense that there's more you need to experience & offer? If some or all of these are true of you, we may be a fit. If you're willing to humbly SHOW UP to the work, learn & grow, be accountable, especially when it's hard, let’s talk. I’m a guide, coach, & mentor that helps people like you find their soul's purpose & the work that’s yours to do, while cultivating more aliveness & deep, meaningful connections with those you're closest to & with the natural world. If this feels like you, reach out to me; we've got good work to do.

Are you, your child, or relationship grappling with difficult reactions? Having intrusive thoughts? Repeating old patterns? Struggling to process a challenging event or trauma? You might be feeling stuck and unsure of how to help yourself. Or you may be overwhelmed by all of the mental health opinions in our world today. Through a blend of interventions I assist children, adults, parents, and couples in overcoming their anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, dissociation, traumas, grief, and relationship patterns and conflict.

What is challenging for you at this time? Are you struggling to adjust to current circumstances, unsure how to think about and plan for the future? Are relationships, work, finances, home, schooling, health, or ways of enjoying life adversely impacted? Could you use support in relating to whatever difficult emotions are arising? Would guidance in how to address difficult issues be helpful? Would you like to explore opportunities within the challenges? Are you ready to grow and to expand? Whatever your reasons for seeking therapy, I will offer you non-judgmental listening and skilled support.

Do you find yourself facing the challenges of life transitions, yearning for a path that aligns with your true self and empowers you to thrive? I specialize in wholistic healing for diverse communities, offering a unique approach to navigate life's twists and turns.
Embark on a journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and transformation. Feel a profound shift in emotional well-being, resilience, and a renewed sense of purpose. My passion is guiding individuals in diverse communities to embrace their authentic selves, navigate life transitions, and live the lives they've always dreamed of.

I specialize in Relationship Therapy (couples, pairs) & High-Powered Therapy for individuals. <> Relationships: we feel frustration, anger & loneliness when we're not understood, seen or respected. We wonder - How can I love someone & also hate them? Why do I want to push them away & also wish they'd be closer? How can I feel lonely in a partnership I'm not alone in? <> Individuals: I work with strong, high-achieving "Type A"s who find it hard to slow down, to "just be" content, who need someone who understands your pace, how your mind works, how it feels like you're 15 steps ahead when everyone else is still figuring out step 1.

Do you find yourself trapped in distressing relationship patterns? Worn out from nurturing others, unable to find rest for yourself? Battling with low self-esteem? These struggles often stem from childhood wounds. I’ve been there. I use somatic approaches capable of initiating deep, transformative healing, reshaping the neural pathways of your brain. If you’re still facing triggers despite trying various methods, book a session with me. I look forward to embarking on a healing journey together.

Are you wanting a specific approach to working with trauma, PTSD and the nervous system? Are you looking for a mindfulness-based psychotherapist with extensive trauma trainings and experience? Are you looking for a somatic/nervous system approach to healing trauma? I specialize in working with Trauma, Eating Disorders, Domestic Violence/IPV, anxiety and depression. I’ve been studying trauma/PTSD for the past 9 years, and have helped clients work through hard/shameful memories, PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression, and Eating Disorders/disordered eating. I use a HAES/anti-diet approach to working with Eating Disorders.

Delving into one’s inner workings can at times be intimidating and daunting, and I am here to help you explore your inner depths through our work together. It is courageous to engage in this form of exploration and oftentimes going to these places requires the presence of another, someone to help hold the burden and witness the growth and insights that are gained. I work with adolescents, teens, and young adults into mid life; creating a safe therapeutic environment, where you will be able to uncover new insight into your behaviors, relationships and whatever else might be causing pain or discord in your daily life.

Hello there! I'm Rae. In my practice as a clinical psychologist, I offer a blend of psychotherapeutic support, LGBTQ+ wellness guidance, and consultative expertise, all carefully crafted to meet your individual journey. My practice is enriched by a diverse range of interests including self-identity exploration, the intricacies of human relationships, the embrace of neurodiversity, navigating trauma, managing existential angst, as well as tackling anxiety, depression, and fostering personal growth. My commitment is to foster an authentic and secure environment that allows you to honor your truest self.

My style is compassionate yet direct, soft yet forceful. I combine traditional talk therapy with somatic therapy (i.e., therapy involving awareness and work with the body). I have a background working in the corporate world and understand the challenges unique to that space. I trained at the California Institute of Integral Studies and incorporate not only that training but my years of post-graduate education and time spent studying different energetic and intuitive healing techniques into the work I do with you. Visit my website at www.allisonzamani.com for more information.

I believe true connection and healing are possible, and that therapy holds the capacity for profound transformation. We'll work within a supportive and accepting environment navigating areas relating to belonging, past trauma, owning the strength of sensitivity and confidence in self expression. I specialize in supporting identities and interests such as high sensitivity, low self esteem and self worth, spirituality, codependency, childhood emotional neglect, addiction, adult children and siblings of substance users, life transitions, anxiety, depression, loneliness, and Bipolar disorder.
