Yasmine Akky

I believe in the power of connection and compassion and the life, joy, and healing it can bring forth. I believe that when we say life and this work is a journey, it does not mean we can’t reach markers of immense relief, healing, and growth along the way. I know how hard it is. I have been there. I believe in you and your inner strength to reach the goals you want for yourself. I can’t wait to hear your story and help you do it!

My clients have said they feel deeply seen and heard and cared about in our work together. Together, we will find a path forward toward healing. I will support you in building connections with others in this world as well as share information about everything from the neurobiology of trauma to ways to improve relationships.

I offer free phone consultations to discuss what you are looking for and if I’m the right fit for you. Together, we can make a personalized plan tailored to your needs to create lasting change. You deserve to feel comfortable and at peace in your body, relationships, and everyday life. I am here to support you every step of the way.

I work with women who feel stuck and disconnected from their lives because of painful past experiences and negative beliefs about themselves as well as women who want to change or improve the relationships in their lives. The women I work with often know what they want but don’t know how to make the changes they need. I use my training as a counseling student and my past career as a scientist to help you improve your ability to cope day to day. I use my training in family systems to help you identify the behaviors that aren't working and learn new ways of connecting and relating to others. 

I love the outdoors! Connection with the elements and animals brings me groundedness and joy. In my free time you can find me spending time with my partner, toddler, and our dogs (Radar - 5 year old lab and Mabel - 6 month old doodle). Some other special interests of mine that also sometimes inform my work are: interior design, literature, cooking, baking, mindfulness practices such as meditation and qigong, and somatic movement (currently enjoying Buti yoga and Soma flow).  

As an intern, I offer reduced rate counseling sessions to Virago Wellness clients of $30 per session.

I am unable to accept commercial insurance.
