Getting to know Amber Crume

My name is Amber Lee Crume, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I hope to help people achieve greater happiness and well-being. I love being a therapist and helping you learn more about yourself, your relationships, and new proven strategies to address life's challenges. The process really does work! My approach The guiding principle of my work is that people are experts in their own lives. I aim to empower people to gain greater autonomy, self-worth, and achievement to promote lasting change. I use a Solution-Focused approach where we explore how you can start to feel better. I provide clear instructions and tangible tools to increase self-awareness and decrease immediate stress symptoms. When you manage your primary stressors, you gain deeper insight into underlying barriers. Exploring new ways to approach problems motivates positive change. I use various treatment modalities, specializing in Brief Solution Focused Treatment with elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Discernment, Grief and Loss Counseling, Mindfulness, Meditation, and Coping Skills. My focus I've treated people with a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, PTSD/PTSI, addiction/co-occurring disorders, overeating/weight loss, adjustment, family violence, DCFS, divorce, separation and co-parenting, work stress, physical injury/chronic illness, and aging. My communication style Communication styles differ based on personalities, life experiences, backgrounds, cultures, beliefs, and values. I provide an environment where you can feel comfortable sharing and encouraging feedback. My goal is to ensure you feel safe, heard, and understood. My journey to therapy Everyone becomes a therapist for one reason or another.
