Amber Eberhardt, LMHC
About me
Amber Lynn Eberhardt is a dually licensed therapist (LMHC, SUDP, CMHS) and moved to Eastern Washington in 2008 to pursue degrees in psychology, social work, and addiction. She has been a leader in agencies around the Eastern Washington and has experience working with complex cases utilizing an orientation that deeply understands the impact of trauma on human beings.
She believes in affirming and inclusive care to celebrate diversity and living a fully authentic self. Amber is committed to giving a judgement free zone, as your experiences matter. She actively listens to validate your feelings and offers guidance without assumptions. She creates space to explore all aspects of your life to create a comprehensive healing plan.
She provides EMDR, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, and other somatic-based education with a passion for topics including trauma, life transitions, general mental health, sexual health, self-acceptance and self-love, and somatic body exploration. An additional career passion is to support women in various life stages with a strong emphasis on trauma, sexual identity, sexual satisfaction, and recovery from shame-based encounters.
In her clinical work she uses attachment, developmental, cognitive, somatic, and trauma-based theories. She believes certain life experiences are processed in different ways dependent on our age and stage of life, culture, trauma, life history, relational interactions, and contextual intersectionality, therefore it’s important to honor a person’s life experiences. Her guiding mantra is, “Every passing minute is another chance to turn it around” driving her optimistic views that healing can take place no matter what past challenges you have experienced.
In her spare time she enjoys mind-body connections through rock climbing, yoga, cycling, and other outdoor adventures throughout the Pacific Northwest. She also enjoys travel, expression through body art, and music. Most days are spent giving complete love to her cats.

Amber is one of the most personable therapists I've had the good fortune of coming in contact with. Conversations are easy and never too heady or strenuous. And when an occasion does arise when I need to work through a heavier set of emotions, she almost effortlessly helps me sort through them without any judgement. It's been a really great experience working with her!

She’s absolutely amazing. Takes her time to understand you! She’s very friendly and professional. I was on a search to find the right therapist. And she was the 3rd one! I guess 3rd time is the charm:)
