Hi there, my name is Amber Allen, and I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS). It's an honor to have you read my profile, and take the courageous step towards healing. I've been in practice since 2008, and have had the pleasure in specializing in Eating Disorders, Body Image Issues, and disordered eating patterns for over a decade. I have served as a Primary Therapist, Program Director, and Clinical Director in various Eating Disorder IOP/PHP/Residential facilities throughout Southern and Northern CA. Eating Disorders are not a one size fits all, and it is my mission to also support BIPOC communities that may feel unseen in terms of disordered eating/eating disorder support. In addition to eating disorders, I clinically treat: Adults 18-65+ Mood Disorders, Trauma/Sexual Trauma, PTSD, Women's Health (Perinatal, Post-Partum, Perimenopause/Menopause), Professional Athletes, Professional Arts Community, Life-Transitions, Relationship Issues, Pre-Marital Therapy, Spirituality/Faith Based Support, Couple's Issues, Family Therapy, etc.
Since I was a just a small child I held deep empathy and curiosity for other human beings. Ultimately, this lead me to obtain my MSW with a concentration in mental health and sub-concentration in school social work. Along the way, I have worked in many different community-based settings (mobile crisis, K-12 schools, outpatient behavioral health, drop-in centers, residential settings, and complex trauma treatment centers) serving folks from across the lifespan, witnessing so much growth and resilience along the way. I am particularly well-equipped to support children, teens, young adults, and parents.
I specialize in working with adults experiencing burnout, chronic stress/anxiety, trauma, and neurodivergence. As a neurodivergent therapist who has navigated my own experiences with burnout, I understand how exhausting it can be to constantly feel "on" for everyone else. I’m especially passionate about supporting helping professionals, caregivers, and high-achieving folks who spend so much energy caring for others that they forget to care for themselves. I also bring my full personality into the therapy room (including humor, authenticity, and the occasional slightly twisted joke) when the moment calls for it.
Hi, my name is Ning! I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Social and Behavioral Sciences and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. For the past seven years, I have worked with children, teens, adults, and older adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, major life transitions, complex mental health conditions. My clinical work focuses on anxiety and mood disorders, and I combine cognitive and somatic techniques with talk therapy to address root causes and foster lasting personal growth.
Hi & Welcome. We all face challenges at times throughout our lives. We may need support finding self-awareness and compassion which I believe is the key in the healing process. I enjoy acting as an empowering guide along your journey. I believe in our innate capacity to change and create a meaningful and UPLIFTING life. My goal for you is to foster a safe, accepting and also challenging space that encourages personal growth and empowers you to make positive changes that support your values.
I work with adults navigating trauma, burnout, identity, and the particular exhaustion of being a sensitive person in a fast-changing world. My work goes beyond talk therapy to build a flexible nervous system, helping to regulate it, reduce symptoms of trauma, and build resilience.
Many of the people I work with are doing everything right on paper. They are the ones who keep showing up, holding it together, being the person everyone else leans on. And they are exhausted in a way that is hard to explain to the people around them. They worry they are making the wrong choices or that everyone else has it together.
- I believe therapy is one of the greatest gifts that we can give to ourselves. It is an opportunity to explore and learn about the mysteries of our inner self. When I am working with a client both of us discover a vast new world that waits to unfold. I studied at Pacifica Graduate Institute, a graduate school dedicated to discovering the inner contents of the self and the secrets of the archetypes of our humanity. I believe in working with my clients face to face, together, by sharing a journey in order to learn about the hardships of today while gaining knowledge about past and present experiences. I believe in and encourage my client’s strength and ability to solve their own problems and become the healers of their own wounds. I work as a guide and as a fellow traveler in your journey toward self discovery. With every step we take toward discovery, I work hand in hand with my clients, letting them lead in finding the sources of their suffering and their capability to heal them. Treatment Modalities: Person Centered Therapy, Post Jungian, Family Systems, Trauma Theory, Sex Therapy, and working within the Feminine Principle. I work with LGBTQ community and with all kind of diversity. At Eye Of The Storm counseling I specialize with Adolescents, Adults, Relationships, Individuation, Immigration, Life Changes, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Sexual Issues, Personal Growth and Development, Life Style issues, and Court referrals.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Anaheim, CA
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Anaheim starts with identifying someone who offers identity-affirming care and has experience with the concerns you want to address. This may include gender identity, sexual orientation, family dynamics, relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for bios that name LGBTQIA+ populations directly or reference affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or other relevant background. Finding an affirming therapist matters beyond clinical training alone, since fit can shape how comfortable the care process feels from the first conversation.
In a mid-sized city like Anaheim, you may find a range of local therapists, while more specialized LGBTQIA+ experience can vary by neighborhood, schedule, and appointment format. Virtual therapy can expand your options beyond nearby offices while keeping in-person care available if you prefer a local setting. To narrow your search, compare appointment availability, therapeutic approach, therapist background, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist profiles before booking can help you see how they describe their work with LGBTQIA+ people, their communication style, and what a first session may involve.
Therapy in Anaheim can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find LGBTQIA+ therapists who are accepting new patients, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person appointments. You can browse therapists, compare bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
