Amber Phillips
Clinical Social Work/Therapist

I've worked with children, families, and adults in many different settings—Hospitals, homes, group homes, schools and correctional facilities.
Hi! Welcome to The Phillips Practice. My job is to help peel back the layers so you can feel more empowered, heard, and connected to your own strength. I specialize in helping people navigate the challenges of anxiety, which can feel overwhelming and affect every part of life. Anxiety isn’t just in your head—it can also show up in your body through symptoms like stomach pain, muscle tension, fatigue, or a racing heart. It can leave you feeling disconnected, isolated, or even paralyzed by fear. Together, we’ll identify the patterns that keep anxiety in control and break the cycle.

Counseling Meadville - Mercy House
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, CADC, LPC
4 Endorsed
Meadville, PA 16335
I believe in growth, in renewal, in the idea that we are always becoming. My work isn’t just about helping people manage emotions or change behaviors, it’s about helping them reconnect with themselves in a way that feels whole and real. Healing, to me, is about more than the mind—it’s about the body, the spirit, and the deep, often hidden, parts of our identity that long to be understood. My clients gain a deeper understanding of their emotions, their patterns, and their strengths. They learn to trust themselves, to set boundaries that honor their well-being, and to navigate life with greater clarity and confidence.

Meadville, PA 16335
I work with teenagers (16+), adults, and couples from all backgrounds and identities.
Have you ever thought, “Why do I keep doing what I don’t want to do? I should know better by now!” We all get stuck in old patterns that no longer work. What once helped us cope or survive now keeps us from moving forward. Getting unstuck and breaking patterns is hard AND is hard-wired in us. But sometimes the motivation to change gets used up by the pressures of daily life and just trying to get through another day. It’s okay to need support to rediscover the you that knows you’re made for more than just surviving pain.

I love to work with motivated clients, no matter how difficult it may be because I realize change is tough. I offer a unique approach for those trying to change patterns of thinking, break cycles of dysfunction and release pent up feelings. While not an approach i push I do offer faith-based counseling for those requesting it. I work well with those dealing with anxiety, relational issues, and trauma. Many clients seek me out for help with meditation, self discovery, spiritual counseling, health and weight goals, reducing depression and just having a place where they can "figure themselves out."

In practicing virtual counseling/ therapy I have learned ways to reach clients from all situations and environments, who are struggling with a wide range of issues, but also have many roadblocks in common. "Ideal" clients are those who, although perhaps nervous about first steps into therapy, are ready to make changes and work toward healthier goals and better choices. I believe even those who are hesitant are able to be assisted to discovering or developing skills they never knew thay had.

FAQ - About Adult Counseling
Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioral therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.

How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists hold various licenses depending on their training and state requirements. Common therapy credentials include Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs), Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs). Psychologists (PhD or PsyD) receive additional doctoral-level training and may focus on assessments or more specialized therapeutic approaches. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.

How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
