About Dr. Amanda Yoder
My formal path began in the clinical world - grounded in psychology, trauma recovery, and depth psychology. I earned my doctorate in Clinical Psychology (PsyD) and spent years studying the psyche’s defense patterns, attachment wounds, and the slow, courageous process of trauma resolution. My work with clients focused on complex trauma, and self-integration through Psychodynamic therapy, IFS, EMDR, EFT, DBT, and dreamwork.
But healing kept widening the path.
Over time, the work began to move beyond the left brain and the talking mind - into the body, the lightning-fast right brain, the unconscious, the ancestral, and the energetic.
Initiated through my own profound lineage healing, my work expanded to include energy medicine, somatic release, Jungian and archetypal mysticism, sacred feminine, and earth-based ritual. I trained in Holy Fire Reiki at the Master level, and apprenticed with a shaman in the Q’ero lineage. Intuitive gifts, once overwhelming and unnamable in childhood, became the compass for a new kind of healing.
I learned that trauma doesn’t only fracture the human personality; it fractures the soul’s expression. Now, I bridge evidence-based psychologies with intuitive, somatic, and spiritual healing. I hold space for those who are awakening to the true Self - those whose trauma has been a doorway into the soul, whose sensitivity is a form of sharper awareness, and whose longing for wholeness is the beginning of reclaiming their personal power.
