Amber Carver, LPC — Therapist in Virginia

Hi there, I'm Amber!

I'm an Integrative Mental Health Provider and Nutritional Therapy Practitioner. I use a trauma-informed, relational approach to therapy while working with clients on Anxiety, ADHD, Stress, Burnout, Emotional Eating, and Parenting.

My focus

I help clients struggling with anxiety, emotional regulation, and ADHD.

My approach

I use an integrative approach to therapy that focuses first on a client-centered approach in order to build rapport and safety within the therapeutic relationship. Moving forward, I incorporate narrative therapy, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment therapy, somatic, and internal family systems approaches to change.

My communication style

My main focus is to create a safe, warm, and understanding environment. I believe that without this therapy will be less effective. When you have a strong therapeutic relationship, it provides a safe container for exploring what's really going on.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting in tandem with you. We explore your barriers, stuck points, and your hopes in order to come up with goals. I believe most clients know what they desire, even if it's by knowing what they don't want.

Our first session

During the first session, I do my best to get a baseline understanding of what brings you to therapy and to develop an understanding of the problem and the history around it. The first session is typically me asking more questions, and then in the sessions moving forward, I allow you to reflect and begin determining what best serves you.
