Hi, I’m Dr. Amber Burnett — most clients call me Dr. B. I’m a licensed psychologist and Board Certified Behavior Analyst with over 20 years of experience.

You matter. Your feelings and experiences matter. This is true, even when you feel differently because of others actions or perhaps lies your own mind may be telling you. Depression, anxiety, ADHD, experiencing grief or trauma (or any other mental health concerns), can negatively impact your view of yourself, others, and the World, regardless of your age. This can also interfere with all areas of life including relationships (spouse, family, friends), work, school, and the ability to achieve your goals. However, there is hope through understanding where these views come from, you can begin to change them and heal from their impacts.
