Getting to know Amber Kesgard

Hi there, I'm Amber! I am a relational-based therapist and believe that authentic therapeutic trust is the primary mode of change. We all want to feel seen, heard and understood. I'll help you clarify your goals and work towards them in real and meaningful ways. My focus I work with older teens, young adults, and adults looking to heal and build skills to address stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma symptoms. My approach My approach is client-focused and strengths-based. I am calm, thoughtful, and primarily use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as the framework for sessions. My communication style My priority is to be clear, open, and authentic. Therapy is a vehicle for growth; sometimes that comes with challenges, but always through a pathway of supportive and nonjudgmental communication. I may use humor when it feels appropriate, but communication will always come from a place of warmth and with the focus to empower. My journey to mental healthcare I have worked with children, families and adults for the 6 years in a variety of settings with broad spectrum of needs and barriers. My goals for you Therapy is a collaborative process; we will explore your goals, define steps, and create avenues for change. Maybe your needs shift, and so can the focus on therapy. We will routinely check in to be certain we are on the path most important to you. Our first session Our first session is our opportunity to build understanding and trust. We will explore your needs and goals, define concerns, and outline how our time can be used most effectively.
