Amariah Love(She/Her/Hers)

Amariah Love is a Licensed Professional Counselor located in Decatur, GA. She specializes in working with members of the LGBTQIA+, polyamorous, and kink communities. Many of Amariah’s clients experience marginalization because of their sexuality, gender identity, or because they engage in non-traditional relationship structures. They may face anxiety or neurodiversities that negatively impact their relationships, and engage in therapy as a way of finding more effective self-care strategies. Other clients seek ways to cope with OCD or PTSD, which interrupt their daily lives.

Amariah’s approach to therapy draws from anti-racist and social justice perspectives, and she engages clients in conversations about power structures and intersecting oppressions to better understand their emotional experiences. She practices Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy to help clients grow their self-awareness and understand how their thoughts impact their emotions and overall well-being. She also practices a therapy modality called Internal Family Systems which aims to understand and integrate all aspects of a person’s life, as everyone carries with them different parts. Her therapy is client-centered and strengths-based, and she offers clients the empathy and gentle guidance they need to feel supported and move forward.

Amariah earned a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University, and has nearly 10 years of experience supporting clients. She also has an extensive background advocating for the BDSM, LGBTQIA+, and polyamorous communities and is passionate about helping clients explore their sexual or gender identities to find a sense of self and to improve their self-compassion.
