Amber Behrouzvaziri, Attachment & Relationships
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
***Waitlist for new clients. You long for connection and intimacy, yet find yourself pulling back out of fear of losing yourself, being hurt, or repeating past painful relationship experiences. You want companionship that enhances your life and honors who you are, not relationships that require self-betrayal, overfunctioning, or twisting yourself into a pretzel to keep the peace.
I work with clients who are navigating the tension between closeness and independence. Together, we explore how to remain grounded in yourself while opening to meaningful connection. My approach supports you in gently examining the protective patterns that once helped you survive but may now be limiting intimacy, so you can relate from a place of greater self-trust, discernment, and emotional clarity.
As an attachment-based therapist, I help clients understand how early experiences and past relationships continue to shape how they show up in romantic connections today. I also integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR to support clients in processing relational trauma and strengthening their capacity to lean into connection while also knowing when it is wise to set boundaries or step away.

Dr. JD Wright
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
My approach is grounded in an understanding of the impact of trauma, recognizing that our struggles always exist in the context of our environments and histories. I weave mindfulness and positive psychology into our sessions, aiming not just for 'okay,' but for a life that feels truly meaningful and fulfilling. Trained in clinical hypnosis, EMDR, ACT, and CBT, I bring a diverse toolkit to tailor our sessions to your unique needs.
I see our time together as a collaborative space, where your feedback and active participation shape the path to your well-being. There's no one-size-fits-all in therapy—I believe in finding the approach that resonates best with you and addresses your specific concerns. Let's embark on this journey towards positive change together.

South Bend is an Indiana city historically defined by the Studebaker automobile company—which closed in 1963, leaving a significant deindustrialization legacy—and by the University of Notre Dame, whose global prestige and Catholic intellectual tradition sit just outside the city limits in an unusual town-gown relationship, and the city gained wider attention when its mayor Pete Buttigieg ran for president, reflecting an ongoing effort to position South Bend as a model for revitalizing Midwestern post-industrial cities. The city has a significant Black community that has faced longstanding disparities in economic opportunity, and the mental health landscape is marked by racial stress alongside the general challenges of economic revitalization. Beacon Health System provides behavioral health services, and a private therapy sector serves the university-adjacent and professional communities. Common therapy concerns include racial identity and systemic stress, economic anxiety and community transition, Notre Dame student mental health, faith and Catholic identity, and the emotional complexity of a city working to define itself beyond the stories of what it has lost.
