My name is Amber Bertovich. I have been a practicing licensed clinical social worker for nearly 20 years in the state of Pennsylvania and am a Certified Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist. I have a diverse background from children through geriatrics, working with individuals, families, and caregivers as well as 15 years of experience working with the veteran and military population. I have worked in residential, community, and hospital settings. I utilize a wide array of approaches to custom fit a plan to care for those seeking help with grief and loss, stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session we will review the reasons that you are seeking therapy and what your goals are for care. I believe that a low pressure, supportive, relaxing environment that invites humor fosters healing and promotes wellbeing. We will work to help you build skills and tools to work towards healing yourself and building personal strength. If you are looking for a safe and non-judgmental space that invites you to come exactly as you are to work through some of life's difficulties that offers openness, accountability, and clinical knowledge, please message me to schedule a free consultation.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

With nearly 20 years of master's level experience working with diverse populations, I truly believe that people are resilient and able to overcome obstacles and struggles they encounter to become stronger and healthier both emotionally and physically. I work with the client to form a game plan to work through and conquer their treatment goals.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

The world can feel dark, scary and lonely when you are experiencing a loss or trauma. And while we are all destined to have a loss of some kind in our lives, we are not always prepared for the storm of emotions and life changes that can come along with them. These life events can leave you with questions and struggles navigating daily life and asking for help can feel intimidating. I welcome you to come, as you are, to join me in looking at these areas of your life with a new lens to work on helping you to draw from inner strengths to develop a capacity to rebound from difficult situations, stressors, and losses to gain greater strength, understanding, and growth of self.
