Amber Gentry MS, LMHC

My Passion

As a licensed mental health counselor, I passionately advocate for self-care and mental wellness while working collaboratively with clients to empower and build resilience and achieve mental health goals in a safe, empathetic space for healing and self-empowerment. I am prepared to assist individuals in coping and managing emotional, behavioral, and psychological challenges.I specialize in anxiety and stress management for adults, teens, and children. I have experience working with individuals struggling with addictions and have discovered a love of helping people in this capacity. A resilient individual is able to withstand or recover quickly from challenging life events. Let me help you become more resilient.I have 23 years of experience as an educator and understand students' daily stresses. Mistakes happen. It's what you do with them that matters. Let me provide the compassion and empathy you need to overcome life's struggles. I will listen genuinely without judgment and support you in overcoming trauma, adversity, tragedy, daily stress, and much more.

Services

Counseling Session

Individual Counseling

Individual counseling services are designed to help you overcome personal challenges and achieve your goals. I provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, gain insights into your behavior, and develop strategies for positive change.

Child & Adolescent Counseling

I have over 23 years of experience as an educator and understand students' daily stresses. My child and adolescent counseling services are designed to help young people overcome a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, self-harming and more. I use evidence-based techniques to help children and teens develop coping skills, improve self-esteem, and achieve greater success in school and other areas of life.

Addiction Counseling

Addiction counseling services can help you overcome and manage your addiction to substances and behaviors. These services typically encompass a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches and support systems. Addiction counseling services aim to empower individuals to overcome their dependencies, regain control over their lives, develop coping skills, and build a foundation for lasting recovery. I also provide support for family members affected by addiction.

Career Counseling

I offer career counseling services to help you identify your strengths, interests, and values, and develop a plan to achieve your career goals. I can provide guidance on job search strategies, resume writing, interviewing skills, and more, to help you succeed in your chosen field.

"Rejoicing in the Lord this morning! My child got up, got ready, made her lunch and walked into school without a single fuss. She was even laughing and playing this morning. Thank you for talking with her yesterday!"

“My son came to her with previous anxiety issues and she has helped so much with getting him into the correct doctor and helped him so much with his problems at school. She is always there for him in time of need. We appreciate her more than words can express"

“Amber Gentry was my daughter's fourth grade teacher and was instrumental in helping identify the struggles she was having. Once she was diagnosed with ADD, Mrs. Gentry helped immensely as a teacher with the adjustment. So glad she pursued her career in counseling"

Sending your child to therapy can be nerve racking, but my child and I immediately felt a sense of comfort within minutes of talking with Amber. My child connected with her so easily, which made continuing with counseling a breeze. My child is learning strategies to help manage and cope with life's difficulties and we are so grateful for Amber's guidance, help and care.
