I work in pursuit of a greater understanding of a persons life and mind, everything-feelings, beliefs, memories, dreams and even seemingly irrelevant passing thoughts. Emotional healing takes place in a safe space through the empathic work of a committed relationship between psychotherapist and patient that is radically individualized/fully confidential. My approach is with the concern of relieving immediate symptoms and resolving current life problems. Patients are encouraged to talk as freely as possible in an environment that can enhance their awareness into how they see themselves and the world around them with increased sense of freedom and validation.

Amber E Howard
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MA, MSW, LSW

Verified
During Amber's experience as a direct service provider, prior to pursuing her MSW, she observed that each of her clients had a single commonality - a lengthy history of unresolved trauma dating back to their childhood; this was especially true for those Black & brown folx that also inhabited LGBTQ+ identities. Her professional observations coupled with her personal experience as a Black, mixed, bi/pan/queer
woman
resulted in a desire to work with and on behalf of this population to mitigate the negative impact early trauma can have on their lives rather than merely providing damage control after the fact.

My specialties include managing and reducing anxiety in areas including male and
female
sexual dysfunctions, relationships, dating, addiction recovery, grief, or life in general.
Does anxiety feel like it is hard to manage? Whether it's anxiety about your relationship, your sex life, your job, your social life, or your life in general, the symptoms are all too regular and familiar: racing heart, stomach churning, and feeling like you can't breathe just to name a few. If only you could just wish the anxiety away with logic. Your friends or partner tell you to just relax and stop overthinking, but you can't! Your mind won't listen. No matter how hard you try, you just can't get your mind to stop.

Do you ever wake up and feel overwhelmed by the emotions that flood your mind constantly? Do you feel like you don’t know how to make sense of these emotions as you go about your day trying to dodge them and stay focused? Or maybe you have anxiety and thoughts that are all consuming so you can’t concentrate. We all experience some form of anxiety and depression, but not all of us know how to handle these emotions on our own effectively. I can help you sort through these overwhelming emotions and teach you to process them in a healthy manner.

As a
woman
, you have lots of roles and responsibilities...between work, family and friends, you try your best to be there for everyone and that can feel overwhelming. Worry thoughts creep in and play in a constant loop in your head. You may feel called to unhealthy behaviors that provide a temporary moment of peace. You've tried to talk yourself out of your negative thoughts but it doesn't last. You've become used to that tightness in your body and pit in your stomach. What you really want is to feel relaxed (maybe even enough to get a good night's sleep) and enjoy your life.

Is online therapy a good option?

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
