Hi, my name is Amber, I am so happy that you are taking time to learn about me and how I can help you find balance and joy in your life. I am a mother, wife and runner living in recovery. After a long battle with drug and alcohol addiction I worked hard to find meaning and happiness in my life and I can say, I have found it! I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor in the state of Minnesota. I have worked with individuals in various stages of life with a wide range of concerns. I specialize in working with individuals to achieve their full potential. Through compassionate care and unconditional positive regard I meet each individual where they are and help them find what they are seeking. In my most recent work I have focused on treatment of trauma and related symptoms through DBT and EMDR.

I like to maintain an environment of safety, with open communication. This is a time for you to practice skills that will translate into your daily life. I look forward to getting to know you and helping you achieve your full potential!

About online counseling

Affordable.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
