Hello, I'm Amber, a dedicated and compassionate trauma-informed therapist committed to providing a safe and empathetic space for individuals on their healing journey. With a background in psychology and extensive training, I bring a holistic approach that integrates psychodynamic, person-centered, mind-body approach and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to support clients in their path to recovery. Incorporating a mind-body approach in therapy involves recognizing and addressing the interconnectedness of mental and physical health. This approach may include techniques such as mindfulness, deep breathing, or progressive muscle relaxation to help clients become more aware of how their thoughts and emotions influence their physical sensations. By integrating practices that focus on bodily awareness and self-regulation, therapists can help clients manage stress, reduce anxiety, and improve overall well-being. My psychodynamic orientation allows me to help clients delve into the unconscious aspects of their psyche, understanding how past experiences shape current thoughts and behaviors. Through this exploration, we work together to identify patterns, gain insight into unresolved conflicts, and promote long-term personal growth. In addition to the psychodynamic approach, I integrate person-centered therapy principles, emphasizing the importance of the therapeutic relationship. I believe in the inherent goodness and resilience of individuals and strive to create a space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to navigate their unique healing process. Furthermore, my practice incorporates elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), focusing on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors. This approach allows us to develop practical strategies for coping with the impact of trauma, fostering resilience and promoting positive change. With a commitment to ongoing professional development and staying informed about the latest advancements in trauma treatment, I am dedicated to providing evidence-based and client-centered care. I am here to support you on your journey towards healing, personal empowerment, and a more fulfilling life.

Change can be hard. I will help motivate and prepare you to make changes in your life toward improved overall well-being. For nearly 20 years, I've been practicing, researching, and teaching behavioral medicine, always with a focus on the relationship between mental health and physical health. Together, we will explore various ways you can improve your overall well-being, but the road you choose is ultimately up to you. (**I will NOT be using AI-enabled technology in our sessions. If you would like me to use it, please let me know.)

It is time to invest yourself! The first step to changing our circumstances is acknowledging something isn’t working. The process of change takes courage. My approach in counseling is to create an encouraging environment which my clients can find the strength to make those first steps into the unknown. I graduated from Palm Beach Atlantic University with a bachelors degree in science of psychology and a minor in communication. I then went on to receive a Masters degree in counseling from Webster University. After my education I went on to gain clinical experience in many different areas over the next 18 years including, but not limited to inpatient psychiatric facilities, intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, group therapy, marriage and family counseling, individual counseling, and substance abuse counseling. Licensed in the state of FLorida (MH10911) as a mental health counselor, I aim to provide quality care. I specialize in couples counseling, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, mens issues, family therapy, job stress, interpersonal issues, child therapy, and most other conditions. I look forward to assisting you on you journey to wellness! Below is a link to my book, "8 solutions for wining the war of you vs you" https://a.co/d/2hOjUOt

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 7 years of experience supporting individuals and families through a range of life challenges. My work has focused on helping clients manage anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, school-related issues, and major life transitions. I am also certified to support those living with chronic pain. In my practice, I strive to create a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported. I view therapy as a meaningful conversation—one where I walk alongside you as a compassionate listener and trusted guide. I’m deeply passionate about helping people unlock their potential and move toward a life that aligns with their values and goals. As the child of Jamaican immigrants, I bring a culturally informed lens to my work and value the richness that diversity and inclusion bring to the therapeutic process. My faith also grounds me and informs my commitment to providing ethical, compassionate care. I look forward to the opportunity to support your growth and help you build the life you envision.

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida with over ten years of professional experience. I believe that everyone can benefit from counseling. We all have situations and phases of our lives where it's helpful to have a neutral sounding board. We can all benefit from having a person who listens and really hears what we're saying and a place we feel safe to say anything at all without fear of judgment. Whether you are struggling with a long-term problem or you're trying to navigate a new situation, I can provide the space and support you need as we work together toward your goals.
