About Amber | She/her

Amber graduated from The University of South Carolina with dual master degrees in Social Work and Public Health. She is dually licensed in NC and SC for over a decade serving individuals, couples and families. Her experience has been in all mental health settings utilizing a range of theoretical models from psychodynamic, narrative, systems, and somatic experiencing. Amber loves supporting people stuck in the grips of addiction, those who have lost sight of themselves, those ready to take back their power, those who want to know what peace feels like. She specializes in family systems, conflict, relationships, identity (sense of self), self-worth, numbing, anxiety, depression, and codependency. As the Founder and Chief Operating Officer of The Healing Collective, she also loves supporting her team to grow and better serve our valued clients. As a clinician, Amber shines the light in places that are too scary to go alone. She will walk with you as the carrier of hope and believer of recovery until you are able to. Amber comes from the belief that every human deserves recovery, and she will lend you her courage until you have the ability to walk it alone. Stepping into your own recovery is the most powerful tool you have to change your world. Recovery is always an option.

Message to clients

Our role as clinicians is to shine the light in places that are too scary to go alone. We walk with you as the carrier of hope and believer in recovery. At times, we loan the courage we have earned until you have your own courage to keep going. We believe in you even when you don’t believe in yourself. I personally believe (and know) that recovery is something that every human can access and that stepping into your own recovery is the most powerful tool you have to change the world around you.

Amber has such an ability to make her clients feel safe, seen, and heard. She walks in integrity and puts her own emotional recovery first so that she can support her clients in their emotional recovery. Amber has been a loving support and guide in my healing journey and I highly recommend her for anyone who is wanting to understand what it means to have a connected relationship with themselves.
