Illuminate the path to healing with me, Amber Carlile, a dedicated Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving Missouri and Kansas with compassion and expertise. With twelve years of diverse experience in child welfare, adult mental health and other clinical settings, I bring a unique blend of skills to my practice. Committed to staying at the forefront of therapeutic advancements, I offer the most effective and evidence-based interventions available.

I focus on folks who have complex trauma history, queer/gender non-conforming identities, and neurodivergent adults. I find that these areas often intersect and do best to tailor my interventions to the individual in front of me rather than a strict adherence to any one modality.
