Innate Healing Psychotherapy is based on the belief of our innate ability to heal, guided by personal intuition, which can be supported by a caring, present, and curious other.

Hello, I am Amber Raffeld, IMFT, SEP (she/her/hers). I provide individual, couple, ethical non-monogamy, polycule, family and non-traditional family mental health services. Specializing in Somatic Experiencing, NeuroAffective Relational Model, LGBTQIA+, kink, consensual non-monogamy, accumulated stress, attachment, communication, and complex and developmental trauma.

My approach is client centered, collaborative, and experiential, with interest in development and attachment.

Innate Healing Psychotherapy is based in Columbus, Ohio, located on indigenous ancestral territory of the Shawnee, Miami, and Lenape nations, which compels me to continue learning about the treaties of the territory and the nations that should have jurisdiction.
