Devon Burton
(They/He)
Imagine that for a moment you have time to just breathe. That your responsibilities and the ones you love are suspended in time for just long enough for you to sink deep into your body. Let’s create this moment together.
As an acupuncturist, Devon M Burton (they/he) guides people into states of releasing stress, of decreasing physical pain, and healing old memories. No matter your intentions for that day, they will work with you to achieve your goals in how you want to feel in your body. You can see Devon at The People’s Clinic on 1st and 3rd Fridays as the Community Acupuncture Resident.
Devon was born and raised in Brooklyn. When not working, you can catch him hanging out with loved ones or daydreaming in the sun about the next project they may or may not start.

Lilia Goldenberg
(She/her/hers)
Lilia, M.A. (she/her) is a therapist trainee working toward her doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology at the Wright Institute. She is currently offering in-person, walk-in therapeutic support at the People’s Clinic. You’re welcome to drop in once, or return as needed over time.
As a clinical advocate, she strives to cultivate empowerment, agency, and a sense of groundedness in the people and communities she works with. She is passionate about reducing the impact of systemic barriers and oppression, prioritizing culturally affirming practices, and supporting the development of nourishing relationships with self and others.
She views the therapeutic relationship as the key instrument of healing. When working together, she hopes to co-create a trusting and accepting space that invites you to show up as you are, with a willingness to unravel, tend to, challenge, and ultimately honor the many parts of yourself. Centering trauma-informed practices, she aims to gently hold you through pain and struggle while guiding you to connect with your inherent sense of wisdom, resilience, and strength. In this work together, you may move toward a sense of liberation by repatterning the ways oppressive systems, personal and ancestral histories, relational wounds, and limiting, inherited stories have shaped you.
Lilia deeply values a holistic perspective, honoring the wisdom and integration of psyche, body, earth, and spirit. Her work as a therapist is informed by her background as a child of refugees and her past work bridging community and social justice, health equity, and regenerative land stewardship.
She feels honored to work alongside holistic practitioners at the People’s Clinic and to be part of the collective healing that APTP offers, in a space that embodies so many of the values that have guided her work.

Amaru Ra
Amaru Ra is a doctor of energy medicine. He got started in the healing arts early when, as a teenager, he learned breathing techniques to heal himself of asthma. He played division college football before serving 6 years in the army including 3 combat tours. Of course these and other experiences came with a lot of injury and trauma both in his body and in mind. After the army he became a registered nurse, but as he learned more about disease, health, and the human body and worked on his own healing, he began to realize the limitations modern western medicine has in creating real, sustainable health. He began to further my studies and deepen my practice to better support patients in their healing process. His work now includes Reiki, several forms of massage, chiropractic, breathwork, biohacking, naturopathy, somatic healing, and reflexology.
