Amber Leafstedt, LPC-MH, LAC, NCC

You might be here because something in your life feels overwhelming, stuck, or difficult to carry on your own. Maybe past experiences still affect how safe you feel in relationships, emotions feel intense or unpredictable, or you’re trying to understand patterns that keep showing up in your life. Wherever you are right now, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Hi, I’m Amber Leafstedt (sheher), a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Addictions Counselor. I believe healing begins in spaces where people feel safe, respected, and genuinely seen, and my role is to help create that kind of space with you. My style is warm, relational, and collaborative. I meet you where you are and move at a pace that feels manageable. Together we can explore what has shaped your experiences, build tools to support your nervous system and emotional wellbeing, and work toward a life that feels more grounded, connected, and authentic. I draw from approaches including EMDR, DBT skills, mindfulness, person-centered therapy, and parts-oriented work to support healing, self-understanding, and meaningful change.

My practice is centered on creating a space where people can feel safe, respected, and supported as they work through life’s challenges. I provide therapy for teens and adults navigating trauma, emotional overwhelm, identity exploration, and patterns that may feel difficult to change on your own. My work is trauma-informed and inclusive, and I strive to create an environment where LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent clients feel affirmed and understood. I often integrate approaches such as EMDR, DBT-informed skills, mindfulness, person-centered therapy, and parts-oriented work. Together we focus on understanding your experiences, building tools for emotional regulation, and helping you move toward a life that feels more grounded, connected, and authentic. Therapy is collaborative, and we move at a pace that feels right for you. Coming soon: community-based workshops and psychoeducation groups focused on trauma healing, emotion regulation, and building self-trust.
