Meet Yuliya
“If your wounds are still open,
trust they are doors to an answer,
and walk through.”

Nice to meet you.
Hi, I am Yuliya Rae
(they/them)
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) 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
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. My lived experience and praxis lies in being white, immigrant, neurodivergent, disabled and queer practitioner.
In my spare time, I can be found reading a good fantasy book, playing a video game, knitting a new sweater or diving deep into one of my special interests.
