Bio
Adriel McCluer is a licensed psychotherapist who brings her lifelong love and deep spiritual connection with the natural world to her work. With a background in business, art and design, she made a professional change 10 years ago to the field of holistic psychotherapy after volunteering with a therapeutic horsemanship program. She currently has a private practice in Santa Cruz, CA, offering holistic psychotherapy to adults and teens. Adriel works with clients in coastal redwood forests, meadows, bluffs and shorelines, with equine partners in the Santa Cruz mountains, and in an office space indoors. Adriel graduated from The Earthbody Institute’s 100 hour Professional Ecotherapy Training in 2015.

Adriel integrates somatic, transpersonal, and trauma-informed practices from her Master's degree in Holistic Counseling Psychology at John F. Kennedy University, and as a certified yoga instructor (RYT200). Adriel is a certified Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning (ESMHL) through PATH International, and holds great value in the human-animal bond.

A student of Ariana Candell’s since 2011, Adriel also teaches at The Earthbody Institute, finding great meaning in helping others learn how to integrate their love of nature into their work. Adriel spends time outdoors everyday, in the garden, with her loved ones (human and other-than human), and exploring all the natural beauty this Earth has to offer.

Bio
Amanda Singh Bans (she/her) is a queer-mixed ciswoman of color currently residing on the ceded lands of the Multnomah, Clackamas, Molalla, Kathlamet, Tumwater, Watala bands of the Chinook, and the Tualitin Kalapuya tribes known currently as Portland, Oregon. Amanda’s ancestors come from the Punjab state of northern India, the municipality of Zacatecas in Mexico, Germany, and England. She and her partner are raising their two black sons, a tremendous responsibility in an era fraught with racism and anti-blackness. Amanda is currently a practicing relational therapist and specializes in working with culturally dislocated people of color with trauma histories. Her background and training include working with survivors of intimate partner violence, sexual trauma, and narcissistic abuse, as well as adults who experienced abuse as children, racial trauma.

She invites conversation on what and how safety can be co-created, both on an interpersonal level and on a systemic level, and what is needed for individual and collective healing.

MS, PLPC (9960), and Level 1 Certified in Ecotherapy
Bio
Amber believes in the healing power of nature and that we are all connected as one through Earth’s ecosystem.

Her goal is to create a safe and collaborative space that allows the client to freely express themselves without judgment. Amber has experienced and overcome many hardships in her own life, including divorce. She feels that her purpose is to help others find their own unique path and flow. Amber enjoys guiding clients towards discovery of their inner strength through providing insight, awareness, and support.
Amber’s hope is that you leave the counseling session feeling lighter than you did when you first walked in. Releasing your thoughts and negative energy allows your body and mind to begin to heal. Change does not happen overnight, but if you invest in the journey instead of the end result, you will begin positive transformations little by little.

Amber earned her undergraduate degree in Elementary Education in 2006 and earned her Master of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in December 2023 from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. She was approved for her Provisional Licensed Professional Counselor (PLPC) credential January 2024, and has begun the post-graduate school licensure process with the Louisiana Licensed Professional Counselor’s Board of Examiners. In addition, Amber is also in the process of becoming a certified Ecotherapist from the Earthbody Institute of California.

Outside of work, Amber enjoys connecting with nature! You will find her hiking, kayaking, doing yoga, cooking, fishing, traveling, camping and reading! She loves spending time with her family and coming home to her three big dogs! Amber is a Cajun girl from Louisiana and her heritage is important to her. She is always ready to cook a warm meal for others!

Amber is allied with the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities and culturally diverse populations. She makes a vigorous effort to continue building upon her knowledge of equity, inclusion, and diversity. She works with clients of diverse cultural, religious and spiritual backgrounds, incorporating the client’s unique values and practices upon request.
Services Summary

Amber primarily works with adolescents (13 years of age and up), adults, and couples within a holistic framework in the areas of anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, divorce, inner child healing, self-empowerment, trauma, and spirituality. Amber is enthusiastic about guiding her clients toward self-love and discovering their inner strength. She uses ecotherapy techniques to influence a connection between the client and the outdoors. Amber also helps the client to pursue the power of the present moment through meditation and looking inward. Her goal is to create a safe space that allows the client to find inner peace and clarity. Amber also has play therapy training and will often use unique interventions and sand tray techniques to help the client find new ways to understand and express themselves. She even finds this helpful with adults! Amber’s therapeutic approaches usually center around existentialism, person-centered, strength-based, and Jungian modalities.

Bio
I specialize in a somatic trauma-informed approach using Somatic Experiencing, Yoga Therapy and Eco-therapy as hallmarks of my practice. While I specialize in working with stress and trauma, the modalities I use are beautiful heart-centered approaches that can help us all be more connected human beings.

In sessions, my hope is to support you in slowing down to more deeply feel, connect with yourself, and use our time together in ways that feel most meaningful to you. While we will of course be talking during sessions, we will also be listening for the stories your body and psyche are asking you to be with for deeper healing. It’s this wisdom that holds the capacity to transform trauma into healing, constriction into ease, and pain into empowerment. I approach this process of befriending yourself and becoming a more conscious participant to your life with deep reverence.

I invite awareness around how our ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender expressions, and socio-economic backgrounds might influence the space between us; I hope to be an ally on your journey.

I currently offer sessions online, which much to my initial surprise, is a format I love connecting through and works well for many people. I also offer sessions outside near Lambertville, NJ for those who resonate with nature as a pathway to healing and more conscious living.
