Getting to know Amber Lay

Amber Lay MA, LMHC, EMDR Trained Amber's approach is to integrate holistic, trauma-informed, and evidence-based treatments into the therapeutic process. Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Adams State University of Alamosa, Colorado Licensed Mental Health Counselor EMDR Trained Internship with TESSA (Counseling for domestic violence victims) Facilitator of Women's Empowerment Group You took the first step in your journey to healing and ultimate wellness-I am proud of you! The goal of therapy is to provide you with a confidential space to process the private and painful experiences that can leave you feeling "stuck." I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based approach to effectively help you process the traumatic experiences that are affecting your current level of functioning. We will also work collaboratively to learn and implement new and adaptive coping skills to improve relationships with others, as well as yourself. You are worth it!

What should a new client know about working with you?

If you are struggling (relationally, socially, emotionally, or mentally) and need to know that you are going to be okay, you have come to the right place! My goal is to provide a space where individuals can feel seen, heard, and validated in their unique experiences. Through the healing journey, clients will have the opportunity to process their experiences in a more adaptive manner, as well as learn helpful coping skills to achieve enhanced emotional wellbeing. My goal is to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My therapuetic approach is to integrate holistic, trauma-informed, and evidenced-based treatments into the therapeutic process. We will work collaboratively to learn and implement new and adaptive coping skills. I also utilize EMDR as a way to help clients process traumatic and difficult memories that may be influencing current functioning.
