Amber Hammontree, LPC — Therapist in Georgia

Hi there, I'm Amber!

I specialize in working with adults navigating chronic pain, stress, and major life transitions—areas where therapy often needs to go beyond the surface. I bring both clinical expertise and genuine empathy to help you untangle what feels overwhelming.

My focus

I work with adults juggling more than their share of life's challenges—managing chronic pain, navigating anxiety or depression, or feeling overwhelmed by family, work, and caregiving responsibilities. Many of my clients are high achievers who look put together on the outside but feel drained, stuck, or unheard on the inside.

My approach

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from ACT, CBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help you develop practical tools while exploring deeper patterns. Together, we'll focus on building resilience, reducing stress, and creating meaningful change at a sustainable pace.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, straightforward, and supportive. I believe in creating a judgment-free space where you can speak openly and feel truly heard. While I bring compassion and empathy into every session, I also provide honest feedback and practical tools to help you make progress.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a counselor began with a deep interest in understanding people's stories and the resilience they show in the face of life's challenges. I was drawn to specializing in chronic pain and life transitions after seeing how often these struggles are overlooked and misunderstood.

My goals for you

I help clients set meaningful and realistic goals by breaking big challenges into manageable steps. Together, we'll identify what matters most and create a personalized plan that balances immediate relief with long-term growth. My goal is to empower you with tools and confidence that last beyond our sessions.

Our first session

In our first session, my focus is on getting to know you—your story, your current concerns, and what you hope to gain from therapy. We'll talk about what's been working, what hasn't, and what goals you'd like to set. I'll also share how I work, answer any questions, and together we'll begin shaping a plan that feels realistic and supportive.
