Amber Babcock Stevens

** Accepting new clients for EMDR intensives only. ** After a traumatic event or significant life change, you might be left feeling powerless, uncertain of who you are or your role in life, and hopeless about how you can move forward. Maybe you have low self-esteem or even have thought about self-harm or death. Welcome to Empowered Living Counseling, LLC. My name is Amber, and I am so glad you are here. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the State of Florida, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the State of Arizona, and a Trauma-Sensitive HeartMath® Certified Practitioner. At Empowered Living Counseling, I often see clients who have experienced trauma, are searching for their identity, and are working to take back control of their lives. My understanding of my clients is informed by my training and background in trauma and abuse, as well as my experience working with clients from all walks of life. I take a collaborative and non-judgmental approach to support you in finding meaning and empowerment, safety and healing from your traumatic experiences, and clarity about who you are and what you want in life. To support you in achieving your therapeutic goals, I use a framework that takes into account and validates your unique family and life experiences that make up who you are today. Making that first step toward therapy can come with all kinds of feelings and questions. My goal is to support you in that process, so I gladly offer free 15-minute consultations to discuss questions and concerns you may have about the process, my practice, and your therapy journey. Please don't hesitate to contact me to begin that journey today. Not sure if your insurance will be accepted?
