About Me
Amber Elswick, RMHCI, NCC
At the heart of my counseling approach is the belief that every individual’s story is valuable and deserving of attention. I provide a warm and inviting space where we can collaboratively explore your story and how it has impacted your life. Your story is unique, so we will work together to understand and transform your challenges, fostering resilience and paving the way for a more positive and fulfilling future. Your experiences shape who you are, and through our work, we aim to create a path toward healing, growth, and peace.
I grew up in Winter Haven, Florida, but my passion for working with women and couples has taken me around the globe. I’ve had the incredible opportunity to support and empower women and couples in diverse cultures as I have lived in Japan, Nicaragua, and Panama. These experiences have deepened my understanding of the unique challenges people face worldwide. With a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University, I’m dedicated to helping people along their journey toward healing, growth, and self-discovery.
