Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Hi, I’m Amber, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP).

You want someone who listens, who takes your struggles seriously, and who knows that mental health isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why I combine evidence-based care with a compassionate, personalized approach.

My goal is to help you not just manage symptoms, but truly improve your quality of life—so you can show up as your best self for your family, your career, and most importantly, for you...

Ellen Sibley

Ellen Sibley

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 16 mi away • Daytona Beach, FL


My background includes trauma, substance use, crisis intervention, anxiety, OCD, and relationship challenges. I am especially passionate about supporting marginalized communities, particularly women and teens, while creating an inclusive and affirming space for all identities and lived experiences. I believe in breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and helping people feel less alone in what they carry.

My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and tailored to each individual rather than forcing clients into one specific framework. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), a reprocessing therapy similar to EMDR. I draw from these approaches based on your unique needs, personality, and goals while balancing evidence-based interventions with authenticity, humor, compassion, and occasional tough love.
