Yuliya Rae - MA, LMHCA

Hi, I am Yuliya Rae (they/them).

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA) who works with folks on healing through story, relationship and embodiment.

When working with clients, I come from a gentle, compassionate place to invite you into self-exploration, self-reflection and self-kindness. My belief is the body holds a lot of answers to the questions we are asking, which is why I encourage clients into slowing down and listening for answers.

Because of this orientation, I am also a Certified Body Trust® Provider.

My clinical focus and areas of interest are:

– treatment of trauma and abuse, with focus on complex and childhood trauma

– Autism and AuDHD, working with late diagnosed autistic and AuDHD adults who are processing their neurodivergence

– body image concerns through an anti-diet, body liberation framework

Social justice is very important to me and my work, and as I continue my own learning, I encourage my clients to fully bring their many intersections of identity to therapy, inviting race, culture, sexual orientation, gender, ability, neurotype and body size to be named and explored.

I am Ukrainian, non-binary, neurodivergent and queer-identified practitioner. I hold a lot of white, straight-passing, able-bodied, thin and small fat privilege and work to be mindful of it in my therapeutic practice.

In my spare time, I can be found reading a good fantasy book, playing a video game, watching anime or diving deep into one of my special interests.
