Dr. Amber Testa

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming and as though it’s interfering with accomplishing our goals. While we can’t always eliminate a stressful situation or the uncomfortable thoughts and feelings we experience as we go through life, we can work together in a solution-focused approach to help you navigate life’s challenges and reconnect with what matters most to you.

Whether you’re facing a recent change, feeling stuck, or looking to strengthen coping skills and relationships, I’m here to help. I’m a Brooklyn-based licensed clinical psychologist with nearly 20 years of experience supporting adults through anxiety, depression, grief & loss, and major life transitions. I have experience in ACT, CBT, DBT, and other evidence-based interventions, which I hope can be helpful on your journey. I look forward to working together!

My personal style is candid, curious, and action-oriented, and I most frequently utilize CBT and ACT approaches. We will explore your goals and values, learn to identify how moods, thoughts, and behavioral responses impact one another and can keep us feeling "stuck", look at common thinking errors, and explore cognitive restructuring and defusion exercises.

I specialize in online care that offers a safe space and provides services and support for those working to build self-esteem, reduce anxiety and depression, strengthen coping skills and improve their relationships.
