Z. Hamilton Avery

Licensed

I am a licensed psychotherapist, coach, and longtime practitioner and teacher of yoga, meditation, and mindfulness. My background includes more than 1,000 hours of accredited yoga teacher training, including certification in trauma-informed yoga, alongside extensive study and practice in mindfulness, meditation, self-compassion, and complementary approaches to well-being. My professional experience spans psychotherapy, integrated healthcare, hospice, crisis intervention, and community-based care. My approach is warm, practical, inclusive, and trauma-informed. I bring together evidence-based psychology, contemplative practices, and mind-body approaches while recognizing that there is no single right way to heal or grow. I value curiosity, compassion, humor, and autonomy, and I encourage people to discover practices that genuinely fit their lives, values, bodies, and circumstances.
