Amenza (They/Them) is a Maryland licensed graduate professional counselor. Amenza’s practice has been effective in helping outpatient clients experiencing symptoms of anxiety/depression, bipolar, grief/life transitions, PTSD, career and lifestyle development, and adverse childhood experiences. They have experience working with adults of various ages, psycho-educational groups, and adolescent group therapy.
Their practice is informed by dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), yoga contemplative practices, and expressive arts. Amenza takes a creative approach to highlighting the importance of the mind-body connection in healing. Amenza’s practice directly responds to the mental health impacts of intergenerational trauma and adversity experienced in African American, LGBTQ+, military veteran, immigrant, and older adult communities. On their off time, Amenza loves to take West African dance classes, sing, travel, watch anime/read manga, and improve their Spanish-speaking skills.
