A moment just for you

Your grounding space
breathe
sound off

Amara Yachimski (they/them)

LPC-Associate, NCC, EMDR-Trained

Supervised by Kathryn Leachman, LPC-S, NCC

You’ve spent so much of your life holding everything together. For your family, your relationships, your job. Whether it’s always being the strong one or the steady one, or the one who’s outgrown the version of yourself that only knows how to survive, you’re tired…and you’re ready for something deeper: healing that feels grounding, empowering, and built just for you.

That's where I come in.

I help adults who feel stuck, unseen, or emotionally overloaded reconnect with who they are beneath the survival patterns.

My work blends:

Neuroscience-informed care

Psychodynamic depth

Somatic (body-based) tools

Expressive and creative therapies

A strong, authentic therapeutic relationship

Because healing doesn’t happen through techniques alone — it happens through connection.

We'll Be a Good Fit If...

The Human Behind the Therapist

Outside of session, you’ll find me at the barn with my mustang, Raven, playing video games with my cats, or spending intentional time in the garden with my fiancée. I believe healing includes laughter, movement, nature, and the beautifully messy parts of being human.
