Amalia Zager

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Kripalu-trained yoga teacher, and Level 2 Reiki Practitioner.

I’m passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence, balance, and self-compassion. I’ve worked across schools, outpatient mental health, and crisis settings, giving me experience supporting people from many different backgrounds and with a wide range of concerns. My years in crisis work have shaped how I show up as a therapist—grounded, empathetic, calm, and direct. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, burnout, relationship challenges, trauma, grief, people-pleasing, boundary difficulties, and harsh self-criticism.

I believe our thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, and bodies are deeply connected. I draw from evidence-based approaches, including DBT, TF-CBT, and PRT, alongside mind-body practices to create care that is personalized to each client. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, build practical skills, and develop greater resilience and emotional well-being.

My approach to therapy is warm, empathetic, curious, and collaborative. Working with me feels like navigating a trail together—you’re the expert in your own life, and I’m alongside you, bringing curiosity, perspective, and support as we find a path forward that feels right for you. We’re on the same team, working together to better understand your experiences, emotions, relationships, and patterns with compassion and without judgment.

Our work will be individualized to your needs, experiences, and goals. Whether you’re seeking greater balance, healthier relationships, relief from overwhelming emotions, or a stronger sense of self-compassion, we’ll focus on what matters most to you. My hope is that you leave therapy feeling understood, empowered, and more equipped to navigate life with greater clarity, confidence, and authenticity.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to begin building a trusting relationship. I’ll listen to your story, learn what brings you to therapy, and create a space where you can feel safe exploring your experiences with compassion and curiosity. Together, we’ll begin identifying your goals and a direction for our work. You don’t need to have everything figured out—just come as you are.
