Amber Jackson, LCPC (she/her)
Staff Therapist
“You deserve care without earning it, rest without guilt, and healing without apology.” – Amanda Fludd, LCSW-R
Amber believes that with the right guidance and realization of one’s own potential, anyone can develop and utilize coping skills to overcome obstacles placed before them. By taking a collaborative approach to the therapeutic alliance, Amber works with her clients on their journey to efficient living. By providing an open and judgement free space, clients are able to explore their true human potential and reach self-actualization with Amber providing empathy along the way.
Amber takes a holistic and strengths-based approach to therapy, where understanding all parts of an individual is crucial to understanding their daily functioning, while also highlighting their internal strengths and abilities to promote positive change. Through CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, and a trauma-informed lens, Amber is dedicated to helping clients become the best versions of themselves.
Amber’s clinical specialties include working with Black and Brown women in emerging adulthood age (18-29) as well as later adulthood. Her areas of interest include: depression, anxiety, transitions and adjustments, self-esteem, interpersonal concerns (i.e., communication, boundaries, etc.), and family relational problems. The overall goal is to continue to destigmatize therapy in the Black community and help individuals believe that better will come, especially from within.
