Therapist

Virtual • Arizona


The majority of my professional experience comes from working with justice-impacted individuals, which has given me a deeper understanding of the complex challenges, life experiences, and barriers that can shape a person’s mental health and well-being. Through this work, I have developed a strong commitment to providing compassionate, nonjudgmental care and creating a space where clients feel respected, understood, and supported.

I earned my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix and am currently pursuing my Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Counselor Education and Supervision at Walden University. My continued education reflects my commitment to ongoing growth and providing thoughtful, informed care to the individuals I serve.

Amber Stewart

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Arizona


I'm a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner who supports teens, young adults, and families working through constant worry, big emotions, focus challenges, and the impact of difficult life experiences. Before specializing in psychiatry five years ago, I spent 13 yeas in emergency medicine, where I learned how deeply people need to feel seen and supported during overwhelming moments. That experience shaped my approach today: blending medical expertise with genuine curiosity, compassion, and respect for YOUR story. My goal is to create a space where you feel, safe, understood, and able to explore what you are going through with clarity and confidence.
