Compassionate, trauma-informed therapy for the whole person.
Amplified Connections Counseling & Wellness offers a warm, reflective space for whole-person healing. Therapy services are currently provided through SonderMind, and devotional journals and wellness resources are offered separately for reflection, self-awareness, faith, and emotional restoration.
You do not have to hold everything alone.
Therapy can be a space where you slow down, feel heard, understand your patterns, reconnect with yourself, and begin to make meaning of what you have survived.
At Amplified Connections Counseling & Wellness, the heart of the work is whole-person healing. My approach is warm, relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in the belief that people are not problems to be fixed. You are a whole person with layered stories, strengths, wounds, needs, and possibilities.
I currently provide therapy services through SonderMind, where clients can inquire about availability, scheduling, and insurance options.
Together, we will work at a pace that honors your nervous system, your lived experience, and your readiness for change.

Meet Ayana Perez, LMHC
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, completed in 2019. My background includes over 10 years of experience in special education, mental health, family support, and therapeutic care, along with more than 5 years of experience as a therapist.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked closely with children, families, and neurodivergent individuals, including clients with autism, ADHD, emotional regulation challenges, learning differences, and complex support needs. That experience shaped how I view healing: not as one isolated issue, but as a whole-person process where emotional, relational, developmental, cultural, spiritual, creative, and nervous system experiences are all connected.
Through Amplified Connections Counseling & Wellness, I bring together trauma-informed care, expressive arts-informed reflection, faith-sensitive support when desired, and resources that encourage emotional and spiritual restoration.
Journals & Healing Resources
In addition to my clinical therapy work through SonderMind, Amplified Connections Counseling & Wellness offers devotional journals and wellness resources designed to support emotional healing, self-awareness, nervous system care, spiritual reflection, and whole-person restoration.
These resources are separate from therapy and are not a replacement for mental health treatment. They can offer meaningful support for reflection, prayer, personal growth, and healing between seasons of counseling, spiritual processing, or life transition.
