Mackenzie Amara

I'm Mackenzie. I'm a writer, researcher, dancer, & therapist.

The first thing I want you to know is that your symptoms are here for a reason. They are trying to lead you back to yourself. The second thing I want you to know is that you are not alone.

My background (bachelor's & master's) are in Clinical Psychology & I have sought additional training in adolescent development, addiction treatment, and spiritual emergence/y. As such, I can help with:

Anxiety & depression
Psychosis, mania, & delusional thinking
Sleep disturbances
Addiction & substance struggles
Food or body image issues
Trauma (c-PTSD & PTSD)
Loss of faith or meaning, questions of purpose
Life transitions
Relational disturbances/attachment issues

I hail from the United States, however I have had the burden & blessing of calling many different countries home. As such, I know what it means to be a stranger in a strange land. It was in pursuit of my dream to study Jung that I found myself in Switzerland, and now here we are.

Before coming here, my work has seen me engaging with diverse & unique populations—from tribal elders in the Amazon rainforest to incarcerated youths in NYC to impoverished, expectant mothers in Washington. I have worked as an educator, a team leader, & a group facilitator. This breadth of experience has gifted me with insight into how brilliant, but also cunning, the human spirit can be. It is in this brilliance, this spirit, that I trust, and how I know your symptoms are here for good reason.

It's up to us, and the power of your conscious perception, to find out what that reason may be.
