Feeling emotions this intensely can be exhausting.

Amber provides DBT-informed individual therapy. That is not the same thing as a full adherent DBT program, which also includes a weekly skills group, phone coaching between sessions and a consultation team. If a comprehensive program is what you need, she will say so and help you look for one.

What individual work does offer: the four skill areas (mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness) taught and applied to your actual week.

Dialectical means holding two things at once: you are doing the best you can with what you have, and things need to change. Neither half gets dropped. Sessions are direct and warm, and Amber is willing to name a pattern rather than talk around it.

Where trauma sits underneath, that work happens too, after there is enough stability to do it safely.
