Getting to know Amber Alitory

Hi there, I'm Amber! My name is Amber Massie (she/her/hers), and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Massachusetts Global. I look forward to supporting your journey to healing, self-discovery, and improving your outlook on yourself and your life. Change in therapy happens through increased self-understanding, practicing new ways of engaging-with yourself, others, and specific issues-and developing coping strategies. I collaborate with clients to identify and work toward treatment goals, using practical skills and deeper work to explore and repair root issues contributing to current problems. My approach I provide a safe, accepting, and nurturing environment for clients to explore patterns in thinking, behavior, and relationships to improve functioning. I use an integrative approach tailored to each client's needs, including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and humanistic and behavioral therapies. My focus With over 8 years of experience supporting teens and young adults, I specialize in trauma, depression, anxiety, eating disturbances, interpersonal challenges, and family stressors. I believe a client's relationship with themselves and others impacts daily life, and with support, young people can reach their potential by learning what they are capable of and deserve in relationships. My communication style I recognize the important role I play in young people's lives, so I prioritize providing a safe, trusting, non-judgmental, and supportive space where clients can express themselves and fine-tune who they are. Support in session includes patience, open-mindedness, and accountability to improve self-worth and self-awareness.
