Amber Miner

In the intricate tapestry of mental health, Amber Miner, M.Ed, LCMHC, weaves a unique approach that embraces the profound beauty of human resilience. With 12 years of experience in mental health, Amber has honed her skills to become a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in both North Carolina and South Carolina, offering a beacon of hope to those navigating life's complexities.

Amber's therapeutic philosophy is elegantly captured in the words of psychologist Robert Johnson: "It's not too difficult to get the skeletons out of the closet with people, but to get the gold out is a different matter. That is therapy. Psychology is the Art of finding the gold of the spirit." This perspective informs her practice, as she views therapy as a collaborative journey to uncover the inherent strengths within each individual.

Specializing in a diverse range of evidence-based modalities, Amber brings a wealth of expertise to her practice. She is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a meticulously researched method proven effective for trauma recovery and PTSD. Her skillset extends to Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a structured program that equips clients with skills to navigate intense emotions and social relationships. For younger clients and families affected by trauma, Amber employs Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), a components-based treatment model that blends trauma-sensitive interventions with cognitive-behavioral, family, and humanistic principles.

Amber's extensive experience encompasses work with complex trauma, depression, suicidal and self-harming clients, adults, children aged 4 and above, teens, and families. She recognizes that life often presents moments of feeling adrift and isolated, whether through loss, change, relationships, or societal shifts. In response, she offers therapy as a haven to explore purpose and connection, guiding clients through even the darkest times with compassion and skill.

At the core of Amber's approach is a commitment to collaboration, respect, and validation. These principles remain consistent across the various therapeutic models she employs, ensuring that each client receives tailored, comprehensive care. Whether working with individuals, families, or children, Amber's goal is to transform therapy into a dynamic and personalized journey toward healing and self-discovery. For those seeking a companion on their path to uncover the "gold of the spirit," Amber Miner stands ready to walk alongside them, offering her expertise and unwavering support in the virtual realm across North Carolina and South Carolina.
