More about Amber
- 12 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I have been practicing therapy for approximately 10 years; the last three of which have been working with children, adolescents, and their families. I have experience working with individuals who struggle with substance abuse, trauma, depression, anxiety, and general life concerns. I am trained in evidenced-based, trauma informed therapies such as Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or TF-CBT (I am also a certified TF-CBT provider) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing or EMDR, as well as your standard talk therapy. My goal is to provide the best therapy that will meet the needs of my clients, so sometimes I will utilize multiple methods and/or theoretical approaches to address presenting concerns. I genuinely care about my client's well-being, and am willing to tell you if I don't believe myself to be a good fit for your needs. Whether you are looking for someone to provide an outside perspective on life, seeking a specific form of therapy, or are drawn to faith-based, Biblical counseling I might just be the counselor for you.

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.

Overall rating:
Amber is kind and a wonderful listener. I look forward to our sessions because she always knows how to comfort and help me.
Amber is so thoughtful and sweet I love how she just gets me.
I really appreciate Amber. She's a great therapist, with a good sense of humor and great insights. I also enjoy our EMDR sessions and find them so helpful.
She is the best!
I have been in therapy with Amber for 3 weeks now and can tell you, I have done almost a complete 180 turnaround. I was feeling lost and stuck in life and she has given me the tools to help me. I still have bad days, but she always lets me know that it is okay and normal. I really feel so grateful for her and hopeful for what is to come.
Amber is great. She makes you feel so comfortable and you can tell she really cares.
Amber has been amazing! Truly a gift to us. She has great insight and knowledge upon many things and if she doesn’t she try’s to get information for you and get back to you. She’s helpful, respectful, and caring. Kindhearted and really understands the thing your going through. Highly recommend her.
Great 10/10
She is great. I like how if you have a biblical view on certain things. Is that she will have to start with that in the morning before anything you do that day. Plus the listing ear and not judgemental. She try to make understanding out of the things that you can't understand.
