Welcome!

We are glad you're here! Here's a little bit about us... 


We are a Colorado-based private practice offering virtual therapy services to clients across the state. We work with a variety of clinical concerns and offer evidence-based mental health treatment. Our primary specialty areas include: anxiety and depression, maternal mental health, life transitions, and trauma.


We have extensive experience working with first responders and military-affiliated folks and welcome opportunities to serve these communities and their families!

What We Do...

Our Services

We offer diagnostic evaluation and individual therapy services. Treatment is delivered via telehealth in a safe, confidential, and HIPAA-compliant virtual environment.

Our Approach

Our style is grounded in evidence-based practices including cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and emotionally focused therapy, with an existential influence. In simple terms, we use scientifically validated strategies that work. Whether you're looking to engage in deep self-exploration or simply want to gain practical skills to use in daily life, we can help.

 

We'll work together to clarify what matters most to you, identify patterns that may be getting in the way, and arm you with tools to reduce your emotional distress, increase your overall wellbeing, and help you live a more fulfilled and meaningful life.


We take a holistic approach to mental health, recognizing the strong connection between mind and body. In our work together, we may explore how lifestyle factors—like sleep, nutrition, and movement—can support your emotional well-being and overall healing. 


In the words of Viktor Frankl, we all have "the power to choose our response in any set of circumstances, and in our response lies our growth and our freedom." No matter what you’re facing, we believe in your capacity to handle it and move forward, and we are here to help you do that with confidence, clarity, and intention. 

Who We Are..

Dr. Stella Benami, PsyD

Hi! I'm Dr. Stella Benami, a licensed clinical psychologist and the owner and operator of Amaya Psychological Services, LLC. 


 As a generalist, I have worked in many settings and with a wide variety of mental health issues throughout my career. 

My specialty areas include: mood disorders, life transitions, and trauma. I am particularly passionate about working with maternal mental health concerns and supporting first responders and military-affiliated clients. 


I've always been a curious person, wanting to understand the way things work, and this is ultimately what drew me to the field of psychology. I loved learning about the way the mind works and why we are the way we are and do the things we do. In my role as a psychologist, I love sharing that insight with others and helping them gain a better understanding of themselves. I truly believe that armed with the right knowledge and tools, we have the power to greatly transform our lives.


I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and I'm happy to answer any questions you may have!
