Meet the Team
Amber Fender, LISW-CP/S
Owner, CEO
Amber’s ultimate passion is teaching people how to become more self-aware and grow into who they want to be. As a cancer survivor, Amber was inspired to help others navigate through difficult life transitions.
​
After graduating from University of Southern California with a Master’s in Social Work, she spent over seven years in public service with hospice patients and their families as well as survivors of crime.
​
​​Amber is trained in EMDR, CBT and Emotion Focused Therapy for a non-judgmental, strength-based approach to honor past and future paths. I specialize in trauma, grief/loss, anxiety, depression, and relationship/communication struggles. I provide EMDR for adults and children 6 years and older.​​
​
Like the Zen proverb, I believe "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear." I know it's challenging to start a new path with a brand new therapist, but please know that if you're waiting for something to change to live a joyful life, you're waiting too long. Take this chance to provide yourself with the balm you need to heal and grow.
