MEET AMBER BARKER

LPC- Associate

Supervised by Julia Ayraud

Specializing in Trauma, Anxiety, and OCD Specialist



You are feeling like you’re constantly on edge, trapped in a cycle of racing thoughts, endless worry, and a body that feels like it’s always in survival mode. Maybe you’ve tried to push through it, but no matter how hard you try, anxiety keeps creeping in, or past trauma continues to haunt your every step. Perhaps obsessive thoughts make it hard to focus, and you’re exhausted from the mental weight of it all. Or maybe you’re struggling with infertility and feel isolated in your grief and confusion. I understand how overwhelming all of this can feel. You may even feel like no one gets it, but I’m here to tell you—you’re not alone.

I’m Amber Barker, and I specialize in helping individuals who are navigating the emotional challenges of trauma, anxiety, infertility, and OCD. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or trapped by constant fear, I understand how isolating and exhausting it can be. Whether it’s past trauma that won’t let go, anxiety that keeps you on edge, or the burden of obsessive thoughts, you don’t have to go through this alone.

Together, we’ll work to identify the root causes of your struggles and develop effective, customized tools that help you regain control. I focus on a holistic, personalized approach to therapy, where every step is tailored to your specific needs—whether that’s learning to cope with anxiety, healing from trauma, or managing OCD. My goal is to empower you to feel more grounded, less overwhelmed, and better equipped to handle life’s challenges.

My Approach to Therapy

I understand that these struggles can feel deeply personal, and they deserve a therapeutic approach that recognizes the uniqueness of your journey. Using techniques like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and grounding exercises, I work with you to unravel the root causes of your emotional challenges.

You’ll learn how to manage panic attacks, build resilience, and develop a deeper understanding of your emotional responses. Together, we’ll explore how your experiences have shaped your mental health, whether it’s dealing with trauma, navigating anxiety, or managing OCD. We’ll then develop strategies to help you feel more at ease in your own skin and in your interactions with others.

What You Can Expect

• Trauma Healing: Learn how to process and release past trauma through specialized techniques like EMDR.

• Anxiety Management: Develop coping mechanisms to address racing thoughts, panic attacks, and overwhelming fear.

• OCD Relief: Gain strategies to manage obsessive thoughts and compulsions, reducing their impact on your daily life.

• Emotional Resilience: Build confidence and inner calm so you can face challenges without feeling defeated by them.

Why Trust Me?

With extensive experience working with individuals facing trauma, anxiety, and OCD, I bring both professional expertise and deep empathy to our work. I understand that anxiety doesn’t only show up during therapy hours—it’s something that often affects every moment of your day. I’m committed to helping you build long-term coping strategies, offering you a safe, nonjudgmental space to process, heal, and regain a sense of peace.
