Amber Woodward, LCSW
About me
I’m here to create a safe space for you to explore your life and the things you’d like to change within it. If you’re in a moment of transition, experiencing burnout, or looking for hard skills and approaches to better move through a world that isn’t super supportive—we should work together. I’m a musician, mom, wife, feminist, and geek and each of these identities helps me connect with my clients on a deep and authentic level.
I’m a firm believer that the things we love help us appreciate the world in a different and more meaningful way. Art and music, manga, anime, video games—all the things that make you “you”—can be incorporated into our sessions to help get to those breakthrough and “a-ha” moments.
I’m trained in DBT, CBT and EMDR, and use techniques from music, gaming and geek therapies. We’ll work together to create the perfect mix of approaches that resonate with you and use them as needed to make sure you always feel seen, heard and supported. I meet you where you are and always keep it real—I can’t wait to work with you.
