Great to meet you!

Hello and welcome. My name is Amarilys (Ama) Reyes, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). My professional journey began with a deep passion for understanding resilience and healing, shaped by my background in social work, education, and my advanced training in Marriage and Family Therapy. Over the years, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families, supporting clients through challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment wounds, and relational struggles. My experience includes working with diverse communities, including immigrant families, women and young people navigating significant life transitions.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy works best when it feels safe, collaborative, and real. I use a mix of approaches—like CBT, DBT, EMDR, ACT and Emotional focused therapy—along with attachment-based and holistic perspectives. Together, we will explore the patterns that keep you stuck, build tools to manage emotions, and strengthen your relationships with yourself and others.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is about connection. We’ll talk about what brought you here, what you’d like to work on, and how I can best support you. My goal is that you leave feeling heard, understood, and with a clear sense of hope for the path forward.
