Life doesn’t move in straight lines.
When anxiety stirs, old traumas surface, or the world asks more of you than you have to give, it can feel like you’re wandering without a map.
At Healing Arts Therapy PDX, we help you listen beneath the noise, meet the parts of yourself waiting in the shadows, and walk your path with clarity, strength, and a deeper sense of connection to who you truly are.
If you’re reading this, something inside you is already asking for change.
These questions can help you recognize the patterns you’ve been carrying for too long.
Do you keep yourself small to keep the peace?
Do you say yes when your whole body wants to say no?
Are you stuck in patterns you’re finally ready to break?
Do you lose yourself in relationships and forget what you want?
Are you exhausted from carrying everyone else’s emotions?
Do you struggle to trust your voice after years of being dismissed or gaslit?
Are you trying to build a life that feels true—but don’t know where to begin?
Do you question what’s healthy in love—monogamous, poly, queer, or anything in between?
Are you learning to set boundaries without the guilt that follows you?
Areas we support
At Healing Arts Therapy PDX, we offer trauma-informed, compassionate support for the parts of you that feel overwhelmed, unseen, or stuck in old patterns. Using somatic practices, direct and gentle inquiry, and deep shadow-work exploration, we help you reconnect with your truth so you can move through life with clarity and intention.
Identity, Self-Worth & Life Transitions
We explore the shifts happening in your life—whether it involves divorce, redefining identity, or releasing old conditioning—and reconnect with what feels true and authentic for you. This work supports you in reclaiming your voice, strengthening self-worth, and creating a life that aligns with your values.
Therapists
We hold space for therapists who are doing their own inner work while holding so much for others.
Whether you’re navigating countertransference, burnout, boundary fatigue, or the emotional echoes of your clients’ stories, this is a place where you can stop performing and simply be human.
Through somatic practices, reflective inquiry, and deep shadow-work, we help you explore what’s coming up in your body, your relationships, and your professional identity—so you can reconnect with your clarity, integrity, and the parts of you that brought you into this field in the first place.
Empowerment, Resilience & Personal Growth
We explore mindset, habit change, shadow integration, and intentional living to expand what feels possible. Drawing from Existential Kink, Zen principles, and evidence-based practices, we work to transform limiting beliefs, build resilience, and support you in stepping into a more empowered and aligned version of yourself.
Religious Deconstruction (Ex-Mormon)
We support individuals untangling the layers of religious conditioning, high-demand systems, and the emotional aftershocks of leaving Mormonism.
Whether you're grieving community loss, unpacking internalized beliefs, navigating family tension, or reclaiming your identity outside the church, this is a space to explore without judgment or pressure.
Trauma & Nervous System Healing
We work together to understand how past experiences live in the body and shape current patterns. Through somatic awareness, nervous system regulation, and trauma-informed approaches, we gently unwind survival-based responses and build a growing sense of inner safety, grounding, and self-trust.
Neurodiversity-Informed Support (ADHD & Beyond)
We approach neurodiversity from a strengths-based and validating perspective, honoring the unique ways your brain works. Together, we explore emotional regulation, sensory needs, identity, and practical tools that support your rhythms—not the unrealistic expectations often placed on you. This work helps create systems and understanding that feel supportive and sustainable.
How Therapy Works at
Healing Arts Therapy PDX
AWARENESS
Awareness comes first—seeing your patterns, your body’s signals, and the protective parts that have kept you surviving.
UNCOVER
We gently uncover the root of your pain and conditioning, creating space for healing through somatic awareness and honest inner work.
DREAM
With clarity and compassion, you start crafting a life and identity that reflect your truth—not your wounds.
Grow your awareness, uncover what’s been holding you back, and begin to dream the life that’s waiting for you.
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”
-Carl Jung
Meet Amelia
I’m a trauma-informed therapist who works with people who’ve spent much of their lives shape-shifting, over-giving, or carrying the emotional load for everyone around them. Many of my clients are people-pleasers, survivors of narcissistic or emotional abuse, adults navigating ADHD, or therapists who need a place to tend their own inner world with honesty and care.
My style is warm, direct, somatic, and deeply intuitive. I help clients slow down enough to notice their patterns, uncover the places where old wounds are still calling the shots, and reconnect with their own voice, boundaries, and values. Together, we explore the parts of you that have been hidden, dismissed, or overwhelmed—so you can step into relationships, choices, and a life that feels grounded, intentional, and fully yours.
My work is LGBTQIA+, polyamory, and kink affirming, and rooted in the belief that healing happens when the unseen becomes seen—and when we finally allow ourselves to become who we’ve always been.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect in the first session?
The first session focuses on getting to know you, your goals, and what brings you in. We’ll talk about what’s working, what isn’t, and what you’d like to shift. You’re welcome to share at your own pace—there’s no pressure to disclose more than feels right.
How long are sessions?
Sessions are typically 50 minutes, unless we decide that extended sessions would be more supportive.
Do you offer online or in-person sessions?
I offer secure telehealth appointments for individuals located in Oregon.
Do you work with couples or families?
I provide therapy for individuals only, while incorporating relationship and family dynamics when relevant.
What are your fees?
Session fees are $180, depending on the type of session and financial accessibility options. I also offer limited sliding-scale spots.
What is your cancellation policy?
I ask for 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule. Sessions canceled with less notice may incur a cancellation fee.
How often will we meet?
Most clients start with weekly sessions and adjust as needed. We can tailor frequency to your goals, support needs, and capacity.
How long will therapy take?
Therapy is different for each person. Some attend for a few months to work through a specific issue; others stay longer for ongoing healing, integration, and growth. You set the pace.
Do you give homework between sessions?
Sometimes! If it feels supportive, I may suggest mindfulness practices, journaling prompts, body-based activities, or readings. You’re always free to decline or adapt them.
