Teletherapy for Iowa

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who specializes in working with adults and older adults who are experiencing emotional distress and/or who are concerned about age-related cognitive changes. I believe early assessment of memory or other suspected changes reduces anxiety, provides information that can improve brain health, and helps clients and their loved ones prepare for the future. Cognitive evaluations include interview, testing, review of results, and a report to you and/or your healthcare provider.

At HOPE Therapy, Dr. Hagan provides psychological testing and assessments. These assessments can be used to clarify diagnoses, for ADHD treatment, for educational accommodations, and to better understand intelligence and personality strengths and concerns.

Hello! My name is Amber Burnett, but most clients call me Dr. B. I am a licensed psychologist and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. I have 20 years of experience working with people from all backgrounds. I work with a wide range of concerns for both children and adults, but a few examples are anxiety/depression, trauma/abuse, ADHD, autism, mood disorders, women's issues, relationship concerns, social anxiety, grief, self esteem, parenting and life changes.

I appreciate your consideration of me as your therapist. I am committed to assisting my clients in achieving their potential, and although I am a practitioner of several validated effective therapies, perhaps the most important trait I bring to my clients, is to be present for them and make an effort to create an environment that promotes wellness. "EMDR" is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences.

I work primarily with children, teenagers, and young adults (college students) who struggle with a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, developmental disorders (such as Autism), ADHD, PTSD, OCD, eating disorders, and general stress due to life transitions. I have experience working with victims of abuse, and with foster children. I also work with parents who are struggling with their children due to significant behavior or emotional difficulties. I have worked in several settings including psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment facilities, schools, community mental health, and in private practice.

I meet my clients where they are at emotionally & try provide guidance at any stage of change they are at. I can keep it very formal & clinical but I consider myself more of a guide/coach to help you navigate all of your "life stuff" including work, family, relationships, depression, anxiety, ADHD & other common diagnoses. I spent 8 years fully specializing in all things LGBTQ+ including identity & gender affirming letters/assessments for HRT & Surgical Interventions. Over the past 3 years I've also ventured into spirituality & have been integrating this into my coaching practices by exploring non-traditional treatment modalities.

“We do not grow by knowing all of the answers, but rather by living with the questions.” - Max De Pree. “Be curious, not judgmental.” -Ted Lasso These two quotes sum up my approach to therapy, and hopefully, to life. Our brains are naturally wired to make sense of things, to organize information into understandable experiences and thoughts. This relentless pursuit of understanding can lead to new discoveries, new technologies, new medicines. However, it can also lead to stress, burnout, anxiety, and depression. Balance between curiosity and living with the questions is necessary to a life of integrity.

Do you or a loved one struggle with drinking or drug use? Are you living day-to-day with no real hope for the future? Have you turned to other unhealthy habits- food, gambling, toxic relationships? Have you tried therapy or treatment in the past and walked away feeling worse than when you started?

In today's world, we are busy, stressed, overwhelmed... I am experienced with helping people through life's challenges. I have been a therapist (clinician) since 2002. I am a licensed independent social worker. I earned a Masters degree in Social Work from the University of Iowa and a Doctorate in Social Work from Capella University. I believe the greatest gift you can give the world is a healthy you.

I believe that It takes great strength and courage to ask for help and I would be honored to help you (or your children) find more fulfillment and happiness in life. I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist and have experience with children, adolescents, and adults. I engage in individual, couples, and family therapy as well as psychological assessment. I believe the range of experiences enables me to more fully understand the individual needs of each client I work with.

Are you struggling with the pressures of life? Do you have strong, over whelming emotions that seem to come from out of nowhere? Do you feel angry, or irritable, most of the time and don’t know why? Perhaps you don’t feel anything at all, and wish there was more to life than what you are experiencing now. Perhaps you already have a mental health diagnosis or another diagnosis of infertility or cancer or are struggling with a chronic illness. Are you part of the military, or a military family member, and are struggling with all that comes with that role including traumatic experiences, secondary trauma, and stress from many moves?

I work with teens and adults experiencing a wide range of issues and concerns including anxiety, trauma, depression, anger, drug and alcohol use, work/school problems, relationship issues, gender, sexual orientation, self harm, and suicidality. In addition to discussing the challenges that led you to this place in your life, many find it helpful to discuss goals for therapy, as well as hopes, aspirations, and strengths, in order to help you create a path toward the life that you seek.

Have you drifted away from the closeness you used to have in your relationship or even started to resent each other? I use my training in psychology, theology, and life coaching to help people connect deeply and learn to appreciate and enjoy each other again. Do you feel overwhelmed by multiple responsibilities and stresses? Have you lost touch with yourself? I can help you learn to manage your responsibilities, reduce stress, take better care of yourself, and enjoy life again. Call or email today; don't wait to start enjoying your life and relationships again!
