Amber "Michelle" Templain-Kuehn offers a hybrid counseling option with both in-person and telehealth via several platforms. She has over 25 years of experience in mental health as both an LSW and LPC and welcomes working with you! She is passionate about helping others find their way in life and creating change through their efforts. Current focus modality is CBT/ Somatic Work/ Coaching with Women/ Women health issues and coping/ Adolescent Life coaching/ Adult Life Coaching As a note I do not see minors under 10 or provide crisis counseling. Additionally I do not provide crisis intervention or domestic violence intervention as those services are better served in person. I am licensed in Texas and recently for TELEHEALTH ONLY for Louisiana.
When we first meet, we will briefly handle paperwork related to intake and confidentiality, release of information, HIPAA, and payment options. We then sit back and chat to know some goals and directions that you would like in your counseling/ coaching relationship. I want you to feel comfortable and welcome in the therapy environment. Therapy should feel like a cozy couch, a warm blanket, and a friendly chat.
I am a strong advocate for your growth and healing in your journey. I guide and facilitate and we work together as a team during the process. I have 25 plus years experience in mental health and life challenges have helped to grow my expertise. I have experience with many areas in mental health, but more specifically at present: grief/ women's health issues and chronic health/ family caregiving/ career coaching/ educational skill building and coaching.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and LPC-S, and I have been in private practice for many years with over 25 years mental health experience. My Counseling/ Coaching practice is open to individuals, adults, and young adults. I typically do not see children younger than age 10 and will only see minors in person.

I am a firm believer in CBT, however, I also utilize additional methods to help the client visualize, process, and navigate their issues interactively.
I incorporate CBT tools in working with clients and facilitate the process of this model.
I like to use this method as a means of working with clients in a coaching capacity and facilitating further thought and insight into the goals/ changes desired through counseling.
