Amber Sylvan, LP

Are you an overwhelmed college student, wondering how to balance it all? Do you struggle with anxiety or stress? Do you wish you could control emotions that feel completely unmanageable? Do you consider yourself introverted, quiet, or shy and are yearning for understanding? Tired of being misunderstood for your geekiness or nerdy hobbies and just want someone that implicitly "gets it"?

I specialize in working with people who are struggling with stress or feeling overwhelmed, especially young adults who are feeling stuck. I also focus on supporting LGBTQ+ folks and people who need extra support with gender transition. I help my clients gain the tools and insights they need to flourish. My approach is integrative and collaborative, meaning that we will pull from approaches that best fit your goals and who you are. I blend teaching practical, evidence-based skills along with deeper exploration to catalyze more enduring change. Together, we will explore what’s holding you back from living the life you want and develop new ways of moving through the world that helps you feel calmer and empowered to navigate whatever comes your way.

Finding the right therapist can feel so overwhelming! But a good fit is important and I'd like to help you figure out if I'm the right person for you. Start by scheduling a free, 15-minute phone consultation on my website.
