Psychotherapy that nurtures the ground beneath

About Inara Center

Our Approach to Therapy

إنارة “Inara” in Arabic means illumination. At Inara Center for Psychotherapy, we offer trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and queer-affirming therapy to support healing and release, reconnection to ancestral roots, and the cultivation of a deeper sense of belonging, dignity, and groundedness.

Our work is eclectic and deeply individualized, shaped around each client’s unique needs, identities, lived experiences, and the personal and systemic realities that have informed them.

It would be a privilege to help tend the ground beneath you — so that, with greater rootedness and care, you may grow into your fullest, most authentic, and illuminated self.

Our Therapies

How we help you heal

EFT

Couples often seek treatment when they’re experiencing communication and conflict breakdowns, generally feeling instanced and isolated from one another

BRAINSPOTTING

For many clients, past and present emotions and traumas find their repressed holders in the body in the form of somatic tensions and complaints.

ISTDP

Even when clients feel the motivation to come to therapy, it does not mean they approach treatment without resistance or unconscious defenses.

Couple

Support for improving communication, resolving conflict, and rebuilding connection. Therapy helps couples better understand patterns, strengthen emotional bonds, and navigate challenges together.

Individual

A space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns, and develop greater clarity, resilience, and self-understanding.

EMDR

Clients often find themselves frustrated with the gap between their rational minds and their emotional responses, noticing a conflict and contradiction between the two.
