Therapists in Brooklyn Center, MN

Hey there-Nice to meet you!! I'm Amber. I specialize in therapy with clients in the perinatal period (infertility, pregnancy, adoption, postpartum), trauma, and couples.

Are you anxious and overwhelmed? Are you feeling alone? Are you grieving a loss? Are you parenting a child with complex medical issues? Are you depressed? Do you feel like no one understands you? I want to create the space for you to share all of your emotions and problems so you can start living the life you dreamed of. I want to understand what you are feeling and I want to help you get to the place where things are better. I provide counseling for adult women and adolescents specializing in trauma, complex grief, depression, anxiety and Christian counseling. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years experience in a variety of settings . My approach is to lead with empathy and to help you feel understood, heard and validated. I have a gentle spirit but will also speak the truth with kindness. My goal is to provide a safe space for you to share your emotions while also providing practical tools for you to utilize. I want to help you understand your past so you can change your present and have hope for your future. I believe the most important part of therapy is establishing a therapeutic relationship and having the hope you can change. I am trained in DBT, EMDR, Perinatal Mental Health and Advanced Grief Counseling. Head to my website to schedule your free 15 minute consultation with me.

Perhaps you are making it through the days, but each night you are feeling exhausted and emotionally drained. Or you find that the worries of your life keep you from being able to sleep, get things done, or just laugh the way you used to. Maybe you have just gotten used to feeling this way and wonder if it can even be different. Whether your struggles feel brand new, or they have been happening for quite a while- you do not have to face them alone. Therapy can offer a supportive space for you to learn and heal, reconnect with the small moments that matter, and discover the things that are meaningful and energizing for you. I especially enjoy working with clients who tend to push through their struggles and appear to get by most days, yet inside they feel worn down, overwhelmed, or unseen. They often feel that if they stop for just a moment things will fall apart, but they have a hard time telling others how they are feeling, asking for help, or taking a break for themselves. One of my passions is working with clients who are seeking therapy for the first time or have been looking to take this step for a while but haven't been sure how. If you want to talk more about what you are looking for or are feeling overwhelmed by the process of looking for a therapist, please don't hesitate to reach out to me for suggestions or referrals!
