LPC, 21 years of experience
My name is Amber Simons, MS, LPC, CPCS. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor in the state of Georgia. I earned my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology from Kennesaw State University and Master of Science degree in Professional Counseling from Georgia State University. I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field providing therapeutic and crisis intervention services to children, age 4+, adults, and couples/families.
In our first session, we'll take the time to build a rapport and establish a comfortable therapeutic relationship. This will involve exploring your background, experiences, and any concerns you may have. Additionally, we'll discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and what you hope to achieve through our sessions. Together, we'll assess whether my approach aligns with your needs and goals, ensuring that you feel confident and supported in our therapeutic journey.
As a therapist, my greatest strengths lie in my ability to empathize with my clients, creating a safe and nonjudgmental space for them to explore their thoughts and feelings. I'm skilled at active listening, which allows me to truly understand my clients' experiences and perspectives. Additionally, I am adaptable in my approach, drawing from a variety of therapeutic techniques and modalities to tailor treatment to each individual's needs. I strive to foster collaboration and empowerment, helping my clients build resilience and develop coping strategies to navigate life's challenges.
I have expertise in addressing symptoms of PTSD stemming from childhood trauma, as well as assisting with anxiety, depression, grief, and challenges within marriages and relationships. With extensive experience, I offer individual therapy, family therapy, and couples counseling across various age groups.
I am nationally certified in Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), an evidence-based treatment approach shown to help children, adolescents, and their parents (or other caregivers) overcome trauma-related difficulties, including child maltreatment. I have many years of experience in treating various trauma including physical/sexual/emotional abuse.
Integrative Therapy involves selecting models and methods from across orientations to best suit a particular client and context. I use a variety of treatment approaches including client centered, CBT, DBT, psychodynamic, and solution focused. The approach I use depends on the needs of the client.

She has been the best therapist I have had by far. She lets me see things from an unbiased point of view which has helped me a lot. She is very kind and listens to everything you say.

Amber not only listens to you speak in detail ,but asks questions, gives thought provoking feedback while holding you accountable to your own goals in the process of evaluating anxiety, depression or stability. Amber isn't judgmental, or condescending in her approach but rather open minded and conscience of her words or advice in an ethical and intellectual manner. Amber has helped me so much in regards to self care, thinking through impulsive moments with being more self aware.
