Getting to know Amera Thomas
Hi there, my name is Amera.
Are you overwhelmed? Stuck in a rut? Struggling to keep up with your relationships, work, and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself?
I am here with the sole purpose of helping you identify ways to best manage anxiety and avoid burnout. Together, we can pinpoint what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole-self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body, and spirit. I believe mindfulness, self-care, and yoga are effective tools to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself.
Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues, or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary, but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back.
I hold a Master's in Counseling from Nova Southeastern University, which equips me with the skills and knowledge to support you effectively. Let's work together!
What should a new client know about working with you?

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

I just love having Amera as my therapist. She's guided me through some very tough decisions I've made in life and always seems to be listening and providing support through all my challenges. I found Amera while I was at a difficult time in life, and I am so grateful. Finding the therapist for you can be difficult, but I knew she was it for me during our first session.

Amera has been wonderful, even from the first session. She always encourages me and reminds me that I am doing a great job and that I am beautiful on the inside and out. She challenges me always to be my best self and calls me out on things that I downplay or am negative about. She is amazing.
