Amber Alderson, APCC
Hello! My name is Amber Alderson, and I am an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor with five years of experience working with individuals, families, and groups. I am passionate about working with those struggling with a lack of self-love/self-compassion, anxiety, depression, and transitions in life. I also have a calling to work with those with trauma backgrounds struggling to live a life they consider worth living.
I enjoy helping foster the individuality and unique qualities within each person, helping them tap into their strengths to live authentically. My therapeutic approach is integrative, though I typically lean towards a cognitive behavioral approach. Most importantly, I strive to meet each individual where they are in life and work with them collaboratively to meet their goals.
