LCSW, 6 years of experience
My name is Amber Phillips. I am a dedicated therapist with a strong belief in the importance of empowering my clients to make autonomous decisions. I view my role as that of a guide, helping my clients to bridge the gap between their every day thoughts and actions. Ultimately, leading you to healthier, more effective behavior and overall communication with others. With a reserved, curious, and passive demeanor, I do my best to create a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients to explore your thoughts and emotions. I firmly believe in the power of leading clients to your own answers, rather than providing solutions for you. You know your life better than anyone else! I am committed to fostering an environment where you feel empowered to take control of your own life, and make decisions that are best for your overall well-being.
Our first session will be goal oriented. What are your primary “symptoms” that are impacting your life? How would you like to see those symptoms change? You and I will plan, step by step, how to reduce unwanted thoughts, emotions and behaviors to live a healthier life.
My greatest strength as a provider is my ability to think outside of the norm, and help you find solutions that are workable for YOUR life. No “standard” coping skills. We will work together on finding what is sustainable based on your own strengths and desired behaviors.
I am best positioned to serve any client who is willing to think out of the box and work with me to create solutions. I particularly enjoy working with individuals with independent personalities who are motivated for success. I love working with the LGBTQIA+ community, and am inclusive to all. I additionally enjoy working with individuals who are on the autism spectrum, as well as individuals with intellectual disabilities.

Amber is a wonderful listener and incredibly observational. She provided a warm and welcoming environment(even through a webpage), that allowed me to freely work through my own thoughts and feelings while gently helping me along the way. A very cathartic and positive first session.
I have a decade of experience using different components of CBT in practice. I have additionally used this method across several treatment areas such as: parenting, child welfare, adolescent behavior, medical trauma, substance abuse addiction and criminal behavior.
Let's explore how our thoughts, feelings, communications, behaviors, and interpersonal exchanges shape us. We can have those discussions about how your learned behaviors may be getting in the way of your potential.
