Welcome to Amala Counseling!

Amala Counseling is dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate relational complexities of today’s fast-paced and demanding world. We recognize how close relationships directly impact quality of life. Rooted in a psychodynamic orientation, our practice takes an integrative approach to therapy, blending evidence-based modalities to provide personalized, compassionate care.

Our therapeutic framework integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), the Gottman Method, Pragmatic Experiential Therapy for Couples (PET-C), attachment theory, and multicultural counseling. By leveraging these diverse and evidence-based approaches, we position ourselves to gain a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the challenges our clients face.

Through collaborative engagement, we strive to empower our clients with the skills and insights needed to navigate the complexities of their relationships. Our approach fosters clarity, builds confidence, and equips individuals and couples with the tools to address life’s relational dynamics with resilience and purpose.

At Amala Counseling, our clients are always at the center. We tailor our approach to meet their unique needs, honoring their experiences and cultural backgrounds. Our goal is to provide a safe, supportive space for exploration, healing, and lasting change.

Let us help you take one of the most important steps toward improving your relationships and well being.

Therapy is delicate work

Together, we’ll explore how your past experiences influence your present, creating an opportunity to shift what no longer serves you and design a future you’re excited about. Curious about what this looks like in practice? Read my blog articles to learn more.

Psychodynamic Counseling that helps you write your own story!

Our approach uses psychodynamic philosophy, which focuses on the unconscious processes that shape behaviour and emotions. The past and present are interconnected, and we'll gently lead you through explorations of your parts.

You can't change the past, but the internal work we'll guide you through will help you reframe old experiences and build new truer narratives for yourself. Along the way, we'll help you create practices that support you and your family.

Together, we'll help you find your power.
