Amber Tyner

Amber Tyner

Therapist

Virtual • California


You've probably been the strong one for a long time. The one who figures it out, holds it together,

keeps moving. And maybe you're realizing that approach has a cost.

I'm Amber, the founder of Resolution Therapy & Wellness and a Licensed Marriage and Family

Therapist with 17 years of experience. I work with adults who are ready to stop white-knuckling their

way through anxiety, relationship patterns, and emotional overload — and start understanding

what's actually driving it.

I specialize in working with highly sensitive people (HSPs), LGBTQ+ individuals and allies, young

adults navigating identity and early relationships (ages 18–26), and anyone dealing with career

stress, grief, or the kind of relationship patterns that keep repeating. I bring a culturally sensitive,

strength-based lens to everything I do, and I take a direct, solution-focused approach — because I

know your time matters and you want to actually feel different, not just talk about feeling different.

I accept Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, Carelon Behavioral Health, and

Cigna. I offer evening appointments on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting at 4:30pm — designed for

working adults who can't step away from their day.

Something about this moment — whether you're exhausted from anxiety that won't quit, burned out from giving everything to everyone else, or standing at a crossroads you didn't ask for — brought you here. I want you to know: reaching out is the hard part, and you've already done it. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California, and I work with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, and life transitions — including women managing the particular weight of new motherhood, shifting identity, or carrying experiences that haven't had room to breathe yet. My clinical background includes high-acuity settings, which means I've learned to show up calm and focused when things feel anything but. I accept Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Cigna, Carelon, and several other major insurance plans, and I offer virtual sessions that fit around your real life. I'm not here to hand you a worksheet and call it a day. I'm here to actually help you move.

I know how heavy life can feel when you’re carrying pain, uncertainty, or self-doubt.

Through integrative, culturally responsive care, I combine evidence-based psychiatry with holistic strategies to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered to create a life that aligns with your true self.
