Getting to know Amber Alitory

Hi there, I'm Amber! I support your journey to healing, self-discovery, and improving your outlook on yourself and your life. Change happens through increased self-understanding, practicing new ways of engaging with yourself and others, and developing coping strategies. I collaborate with you to identify treatment goals using practical skills and deeper work. My focus I specialize in supporting teens and young adults with trauma, depression, anxiety, eating disturbances, interpersonal challenges, and family dynamic stressors. Your relationship with yourself and others impacts most of your daily life. With support, you can reach your full potential by learning what you're truly capable of and what you deserve. My approach I provide a safe, accepting, nurturing environment to explore patterns in thinking, behavior, and relationships. I use an integrative approach tailored to your specific needs, drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness practice, and humanistic and behavioral therapies to improve functioning. My communication style I provide a safe, trusting, non-judgmental, supportive space where you can comfortably express yourself and discover who you are. Sessions include patience, open-mindedness, and accountability to improve self-worth and self-awareness. My journey to mental healthcare As a teenager, I navigated depression, interpersonal challenges, and low self-worth without therapeutic support for far too long. Once I found therapy, I saw the benefit firsthand. I'm passionate about continuing my self-healing journey and passing that knowledge and support to others, especially in my work as a therapist. My goals for you Goal setting includes empowering you to identify what an improved lifestyle and mindset would look like. I help you fine-tune timelines, break down goals into realistic and manageable steps, and take those first steps to change.
