Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Amber Simons, MS, LPC, CPCS. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor in Georgia, and I’ve been working in the mental health field for over 22 years. I earned my undergraduate and graduate degrees in psychology and professional counseling here in Georgia, and I’ve had the privilege of supporting children, teens, adults, and families through a wide range of challenges.

My approach to therapy

I use evidence‐based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and am nationally certified in Trauma‐Focused CBT (TF‐CBT), which helps children, adolescents, and caregivers heal from trauma. My style is integrative, meaning I tailor therapy to each person’s needs using a mix of client‐centered, CBT, DBT, psychodynamic, and solution‐focused techniques. My goal is to create a compassionate, supportive space where you can feel understood and empowered.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, my focus is on helping you feel comfortable and supported. We’ll take time to get to know each other, talk about what’s been going on in your life, and explore what brought you to therapy. You’re welcome to share whatever feels right—there’s no pressure to go deep before you’re ready.

We’ll also discuss what you’re hoping to gain from therapy and make sure my approach feels like a good fit. This is your space, and we’ll move at a pace that feels manageable. You’ve got this, and I’m here to help.
