Amber Brown, MS, LPC, ATR

INTRO

Welcome - I’m glad you’re here!  Starting therapy can feel overwhelming and I’m here to help you feel most comfortable taking this next step in your life.  My name is Amber Brown, and I am a mental health counselor, art therapist and owner of Creative Roots Counseling.  

PHILOSOPHY 

My counseling style is transparent, warm, collaborative, and strive to hold a purposeful environment that embodies empathy, understanding, and acceptance. I appreciate the diverse backgrounds and experiences of my clients, customizing counseling sessions to meet their unique needs and goals. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels.

APPROACH 

 I am trained in perinatal mental health and have a passion for working with women and parents who might be struggling during the prenatal, perinatal, or postnatal phases. This could include, but is not limited to, concerns with depression, anxiety, parenting transition struggles, birth trauma, and/or infertility. I have a special interest in supporting parents through infertility and family planning.  My approach with clients is eclectic and can combine various treatment modalities. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Some of these include: Person-Centered, Art Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) and trauma-informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). 

WHAT TO EXPECT 

In our sessions, you will notice quickly how much I value comfort and warmth with blankets to soft lighting. My space holds inspiring stories of past and present client’s artwork on all walls. I bring a mix of compassion, humor and being boldly honest with feedback and supports.
