About Amar Counseling
About Me
Hi, I am Mierra Blake, a Marriage and Family Therapy trainee providing therapy for individuals, couples, and families, supervised by Licensed MFT Andrea Peterson of At the Heart Counseling. I specialize in couples counseling, helping partners navigate challenges together. With over 20 years of experience in social services as a Social Worker, life coach, and complex case manager, I support people through real-life challenges, including infidelity healing and menopause support. My lived experience as a wife, mother, grandmother, and daughter to an aging parent informs my work. I bring warmth, cultural humility, and a solution-focused mindset to every session, ensuring you feel understood and leave with clear next steps. I also offer virtual appointments for your convenience during life's midlife crisis moments.
Couples
Navigating Midlife transitions
Guidance for women and men experiencing significant life shifts such as menopause, career changes, and evolving sense of identity. Together, we work toward rediscovering purpose, balance, and fulfillment during this stage of life.
Empty Nest & Relationship Renewal adjusting to life after children have left home. This includes exploring new roles, rekindling intimacy, and strengthening relationships through life’s changing seasons.
Infidelity Recovery
Providing a safe, nonjudgmental space for couples to process betrayal, rebuild trust, and explore pathways toward healing—whether that means reconciliation or redefining the relationship with honesty and care.
Divorce & Life After Separation
Supporting individuals and families through the emotional and practical challenges of divorce, from coping with grief and loss to rediscovering personal strength, identity, and hope for the future.
Menopause Support
Menopause is not just a physical transition—it’s an emotional and psychological one as well. I provide a supportive space for women experiencing the effects of hormonal changes, mood fluctuations, and shifts in self-image. Together, we work on understanding these changes, improving communication with partners, and embracing this stage as one of empowerment and renewal. Helping Men Understand Menopause Men often want to support their partners but may feel unsure how. I help men gain insight into the emotional and physical experiences their partners are facing during menopause. Together, we explore ways to foster empathy, strengthen communication, and maintain intimacy and connection during this life phase.
Family and Individual Therapy
Individual
Individual therapy provides a safe and supportive space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns of behavior. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, grief, or a midlife crisis, therapy can help you build resilience and increase self-awareness. For those seeking couples counseling or infidelity healing, sessions are tailored to your unique needs, focusing on healing, growth, and personal empowerment. Additionally, menopause support is available for individuals facing life transitions. With the option for virtual appointments, you can rediscover your sense of balance and purpose from the comfort of your home.
Family
Families grow and change over time, and sometimes communication or connection becomes strained. Family therapy creates a space where each member feels heard and respected. Together, we address generational patterns, improve communication, and strengthen family relationships. Whether you’re co-parenting, blending families, or navigating conflict, this process helps restore understanding and harmony at home. Additionally, our services include couples counseling and menopause support, which can be vital during life transitions like midlife crisis. We also offer infidelity healing for couples seeking to rebuild trust. For added convenience, virtual appointments are available to accommodate your needs.
