Amora Freire Leite

I have experience assisting clients struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, women's issues, trauma and relational issues. I have also helped clients with diverse cultural backgrounds live life more fully after experiences of trauma. My experience allows me to help immigrant and Latinx clients navigate the challenges of adapting to a new culture. I also work with clients who are highly sensitive people. I am passionate about helping clients move toward self-awareness and psychological health.

A quote that informs my work is by Victor Hugo: “What makes night within us may leave stars." Therapy can be a safe harbor in which to slow down and cast light onto your internal life and experiences and, within yourself, find ways to live a fulfilling life. In our work together, I can help you find your inner lighthouse, guiding your way to self-discovery and finding answers to life’s challenges from a place of clarity, intentionality, and confidence. I believe in each person's capacity to find their way to a brighter life. I draw from client-centered, humanist, and relational therapies and hold a trauma-informed care approach. I utilize somatic-based and parts work interventions to help you develop self-compassion and expand your ability to find calmness, joy, and meaning in the present moment. Together, we will look for the flickers of light that will help you approach life's difficulties with curiosity and explore ways for you to feel empowered and live a life of peace and fulfillment.

In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other. You’ll have the space you need to share your intentions and hopes for therapy, which helps me understand how best to support you in reaching your goals. I aim to create a warm, open environment where you can safely explore your experiences and the full range of your emotions at your own pace. You do not deserve to sit in the dark alone with your pain. Together we will look for the flickers of light that will help you approach life's difficulties with curiosity and explore ways for you to feel empowered and live a life of peace.
