Innate Healing Psychotherapy is based on the belief of our innate ability to heal. Guided by personal intuition, and supported by a compassionate, curious, and present other, meaningful growth is possible.

Hello, I’m Amber Raffeld, IMFT, SEP, NARM Level 2 Therapist (she/her). I provide therapy for individuals, couples, families, chosen families, ethically non-monogamous relationships, and polycules.

My areas of specialization include Somatic Experiencing®, the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), LGBTQIA+ affirming care, kink-affirming therapy, consensual non-monogamy, attachment, communication, accumulated stress, and complex and developmental trauma.

I am committed to ongoing personal reflection, recognizing my own privilege, and continuing my education to provide an affirming, nonjudgmental, and culturally responsive space. I value collaboration and believe each person’s unique experiences enrich both the therapeutic process and our collective understanding.

I earned a Bachelor of Art Therapy from Capital University and a Master of Marriage and Family Therapy from Sofia University. As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I integrate body-oriented approaches to support healing from trauma and chronic stress. My work is collaborative, client-centered, and experiential, with a focus on attachment, nervous system regulation, and personal development. I strive to create a warm, approachable environment where clients feel safe exploring their experiences and moving toward meaningful change.

My professional affiliations include the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT), the AAMFT Queer and Trans Advocacy Network, and Somatic Experiencing International. I am also a member of Inclusive Therapists and The Safe Zone Project.
