She/Her (LGBTQIA+ Affirming)

Hi, I’m Dr. Amara Chukwunenye, a Clinical Therapist at Living Fully. As a therapist, I’m committed to creating a collaborative and transparent space for you to explore and address your goals. My approach is rooted in the belief that therapy should be a partnership where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. By maintaining transparency in our work together, I aim to ensure that you feel comfortable and informed every step of the way. 

I believe that each person is the expert on their own experiences, and together, we’ll build on your strengths to foster confidence and competence in managing challenges through a strengths-based, culturally responsive approach. My commitment is to help you build a solid foundation for lasting change and to equip you with the tools you need to thrive. 

I have a particular interest in working with African-American women, persons of color, first-generation individuals, and those navigating anxiety, depression, relationship and family stress, and body image concerns.
