Very caring nice therapist

Reviewed December 2024

I cannot recommend Amber as a therapist enough! She has helped me come to understand myself and my mind more than I ever thought I’d be able to. She’s also helped me grow into who I am and what I stand for as a person, and be proud of it. Plus, she sends you extremely encouraging quotes throughout the week that always hit home (at least for me), and her approach to therapy itself is one you can tell comes from a place of love and care for people. I appreciate her more than my words can say!

About online counseling

Affordable.

There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Amber is very sweet and helpful. She sends out motivational quotes that always seem to hit the right spot when I need them. And she checks in between appointments to make sure you are doing ok. I feel heard and the “homework” she assigns is relevant and effective. I’m so glad she’s my therapist

Absolute 5 stars! Amber is the perfect fit for me. She was never judgmental, always allowed me to talk and she would guide me through the conversation to look at things in a different point of view. I appreciate the “homework” so I had goals to work towards until my next appointiment. In all my years of therapy, I never met someone who was more relatable and comforting than Amber. I’ve learned so much and I love myself more than ever. She is amazing, funny and a wonderful therapist!
