Amber Turlik

I have dedicated my life to helping others define and create the life that they want. I believe that achieving mental health is similar to a "three-legged stool" consisting of affirming thoughts, behaviors, and actions. I have earned a Master of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Social Work.

My focus

I am passionate in my efforts to serve all those that are suffering from the challenges of mental health, addiction, interpersonal distress and life transitions. My goal is to help you to define and create the life you want.

My communication style

I believe that you are the expert of your life. I am an active listener; utilizing open-ended questions, reflection, and summaries to assist you in further clarifying your concerns and goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

The motivation to help others feels innate to me. Suffering and how it affects our lives became clear to me at a young age. Likewise, I also witnessed the overcoming of suffering. This inspired me to work to assist others in overcoming their challenges through work as a therapist. I have earned a Master of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Social Work. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

My goals for you

I believe successful therapeutic care enables a client to identify their values and that the outcome of successful therapy results in a person being able to live in congruence with their self-identified values.

I believe that in order to create and sustain a happy, well-balanced life we must make an intentional effort. My approach to assisting you with this is holistic. I utilize several therapeutic modalities to include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Integrated Dual Diagnosis Treatment. I work to meet you where you are and utilize the appropriate interventions.

My first session with you

During our first session, I will ask you to share with me your challenges and how they are affecting your life. We will then develop goals to help you better manage and overcome these challenges. Of note, please schedule at the beginning of the hour.
