Amber Perry is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who creates a compassionate yet honest therapeutic environment where clients can process difficult experiences and reclaim their sense of self. She finds deep purpose in supporting survivors of sexual assault, helping them navigate the delicate journey of recovering safety, power, and self-worth after trauma. With specialized expertise in grief work and self-esteem building, Amber accompanies clients through their most vulnerable moments with genuine empathy and gentle directness. Her approach honors the resilience within each person while providing the supportive challenge needed for meaningful growth.

Her therapeutic methodology integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) within a client-centered framework. This balanced approach allows her to address unhelpful thought patterns while maintaining a deep respect for each client's inherent wisdom and capacity for self-direction. Amber is known for her remarkable ability to articulate clients' complex emotional experiences with clarity and understanding, helping them make sense of feelings that may have previously seemed overwhelming or inexpressible. She creates a space where authentic truth-telling can occur, offering perspectives that are honest rather than sugar-coated.

With a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from California Baptist University (2020), Amber brings both academic knowledge and practical experience to her therapeutic work. She has been active in the mental health field since 2019, developing particular expertise through her work in university settings with diverse clientele across different age groups and presenting concerns. This background has equipped her with versatility and cultural sensitivity, enriching her ability to connect with clients from varied backgrounds and life experiences.

Outside the therapy room, Amber embraces her enthusiastic personality and passion for Disney. Self-described as a "huge Disney adult," she can discuss anything Disney-related for hours, bringing the same warmth and animation to her personal interests that characterizes her therapeutic presence. Her naturally talkative nature reflects her genuine interest in stories and connections—qualities that enhance her effectiveness as a therapist who truly listens while also offering meaningful reflections and insights.
