Accepting Clients

Hello! I'm Amaya and I specialize in EMDR as an approach to resolving trauma and as a technique for envisioning future possibilities.

Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Los Angeles, CA

About My Clients

I support clients who want more than talk therapy. Many are navigating trauma, self-discovery, or creative blocks. Together we integrate evidence-based with holistic approaches, drawing on EMDR, your own cultural wisdom, Ayurveda and hypnotherapy. I love working with couples and families, too, and have a way of bringing natural optimism to very challenging situations.

My Background and Approach

I bring over a decade of experience in psychotherapy and the healing arts, with training in EMDR, hypnotherapy, Ayurveda, art therapy, and Eastern contemplative traditions. Over time I have found that talk therapy isn’t satisfying on its on , so I weave in somatic, intuitive, and spiritual practices. Sessions may include meditation, guided imagery, breathwork, ancestral (intergenerational) healing, or creative expression alongside dialogue. I specialize in couples work and in supporting children and families, using art therapy and my own EMDR–art therapy method for both kids and adults. My work is trauma-informed, relational, and depth-oriented. I support clients through grief, trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, identity shifts, and spiritual awakening, offering a compassionate space to reconnect with inner wisdom and move toward authentic growth.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that healing is a process of remembering our wholeness. We all carry innate wisdom and the ability to grow, transform, and reconnect with our true selves. I see pain, grief, and trauma not as permanent states but as doorways to deeper self-understanding and compassion. I trust that when we bring awareness to the body, emotions, and spirit, healing unfolds in its own natural rhythm. I am informed by Eastern contemplative traditions, the wisdom of nature, and the power of creativity. I believe therapy is not only about reducing symptoms but about cultivating meaning, joy, and authentic connection. I see each client as unique, and I hold space without judgment, trusting the pace and path of their unfolding. At the core, I believe love, presence, and awareness are the most powerful healing forces we can access.
