Amber Thuston, LPCC

Psychotherapist
CA
Hello, my name is Amber Thuston. I hold a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University and am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I utilize a holistic position when treating individuals with relationship issues, life transitions, anxiety and mood disorders, multicultural issues, and grief, using a person-centered approach. I find that as individuals, we possess the answers within, yet sometimes we need support and guidance from another to collaboratively navigate through difficult situations and moments forward. My approach I currently utilize person-centered, CBT, solution-focused, and humanistic approaches in my work. My focus I typically prefer to work individually with BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and sex worker adults ranging from ages 18 and up. My communication style I am a millennial therapist and look younger than my age. I show up authentically as someone you would find easy to connect with. I speak with my hands at times, through facial expressions, and honestly without judgment. I would describe myself as a professional individual with a hint of, “If she wasn’t my therapist, I know we could be friends.” I establish and maintain boundaries with all of my clients while still having that hint of flavor in my therapeutic presence. My journey to therapy I decided to become a therapist after taking minor coursework in human services within my undergraduate program. I initially planned to go into corrections as a parole or probation officer. I have a parent who lives with bipolar disorder, and I’ve witnessed difficult moments throughout their journey and my life as their child. I naturally have a guiding presence where strangers will come to me and tell me their entire life story. I felt it was only right to travel down this path of counseling, and through listening to my intuition, I learned I was right.
