More about me

Years in Practice: 7 State: Illinois

Hello and welcome! My name is Amber and I am a licensed clinical social worker in Illinois. I bring 7 years of professional work experience, working with clients across the life cycle (3 years old to 80+ years young)!

I understanding that finding a "good fit" in a therapist is much like finding that perfect pair of shoes. You may have to try on several before you find the ones meant for you. Reading through these profiles can be a part of that "try on" process. As a therapist I believe that my role in the relationship is to assist you on your journey to wellness through compassionate care and genuine empathy. I utilize a client-centered approach and include my clients in every part of the planning process.

I have experience in helping clients with navigating depression, stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, & coping with life changes. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Ranging from $60 to $90 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

After about 5 months of consistent therapy with Amber I can truly say she is absolutely amazing. Not only did she help me recover past traumas but she allowed me to branch unto different traumas each week. I am a person who you can call all over the place at times of stress but Amber really helped me target lots of my issues at once. I am leaving betterhelp at the moment but hope to come back and revisit therapy once life settles down. Thank you Amber for always being gentle and kind with me. I will miss her in the meantime!!

Amber is sweet, kind, and extremely skilled at what she does. She has helped me in our first session to better understand a little more of myself in a way that isn't like she's just "giving it a name" to get it over with, but to really understand and help yourself learn how to be better. Make time to meet with her and you'll see right away that she'll be a good fit for you :)

Amber has been a wonderful therapist - thoughtful, deliberate, attentive, and compassionate. She responds in a timely manner and is flexible with her scheduling. Her reliability has been invaluable during my time with her. More than that, I can tell she truly cares and understands my perspective - I appreciate how, even if it's been 1+ month since our last session, it's easy for us to pick up where we left off given the notes she takes. I'm looking forward to continue working with her.

I was apprehensive about beginning therapy again with a new therapist after a year long hiatus. My anxiety immediately went away within minutes of my first session with Amber. She is knowledgeable, relatable, and a pleasure to talk with. I couldn’t be more pleased with my decision to move forward with her.
