Virtual • Kentucky


I’m Amber Slone, LPCC, a licensed professional clinical counselor based in Kentucky and the founder of my private practice. I earned my Master’s in Education from Lindsey Wilson College’s School of Professional Counseling and bring over 15 years of experience in the human services field, including 7 years as a practicing therapist.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked across diverse settings in mental health, child and adolescent services, and addiction treatment. I specialize in helping clients navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, and ADHD, and I’m trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) for trauma recovery. I often work with adolescents and adults, supporting them through life transitions and emotional challenges.

My approach is person-centered, with a blend of CBT and solution-focused strategies to help clients recognize their strengths and move toward lasting change. Above all, I strive to create a space where my clients feel accepted, empowered, and safe to be themselves.

Reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating — especially if you’re afraid of being judged, misunderstood, or unsure whether therapy will actually help. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or like you’re barely holding things together on the outside, you’re not alone.

My approach is warm, direct, practical, and collaborative. I help clients not only process emotions, but also understand why certain patterns keep happening and how to create meaningful, lasting change. Together, we focus on building emotional awareness, healthier coping skills, nervous system regulation, and stronger relationships.

Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, relationship stress, attachment wounds, self-esteem issues, or difficulty managing intense emotions. I work to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, understood, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

If any of this resonates with you, I’d be honored to support you in your healing process.

Stephanie Clemmons

Therapist

Virtual • Louisville, KY


I graduated from the University of Louisville in 2008 with a Master’s in Education in Counseling and Personnel Services, with a concentration in expressive therapy. I have worked with individuals across the lifespan in psychiatric hospitals and community mental health settings, and I now work exclusively in private practice, providing therapy primarily to adults (18+). I specialize in helping individuals heal wounds and reconnect with their most authentic selves.

I believe in the power of connection, presence, and inner wisdom as part of the healing journey. I am a certified Primordial Sound Meditation teacher and integrate mindfulness, meditation, and holistic approaches into my work.

On a personal note, I am an imperfect human with a past full of life lessons, doing the best I can each day. My own journey of healing has given me a deep appreciation for the transformative power of therapy and I am so grateful for my therapist. I enjoy exercise, yoga, meditating, pottery, creative journaling, spending quality time with my daughter and loved ones, spending time in nature, reading, learning, and traveling.

The healing process can be challenging but so worth it! —and the good news is, you don’t have to do it alone. I am here to walk alongside you with compassion, presence, and support as you navigate healing, growth, and create a life aligned with your values and purpose.

I work best with driven people experiencing a big change. Perhaps, despite your best efforts, things aren’t working out as you’d hoped. Or perhaps you’ve gotten all you wanted and it doesn’t satisfy. I work often with D1 athletes & pros (as well as their family members). I love supporting the romantic partners of people in the public eye. Though I often work with athletes I am not a Sports Psych. In fact, I don’t even follow sports! I’m here for the rest of your life and identity.

Hi, glad you're here! My name is Mariko, and I work with adolescents and adults who are navigating grief, anxiety, family conflict, relationship concerns, and the impact of earlier life experiences that continue to show up in the present.

I have experience working with clients across the lifespan, from children through adults, though I especially enjoy working with young adults as they work through relationships, identity, and major life transitions. My background includes supporting clients through trauma, grief and loss, mood-related concerns such as depression and anxiety, and challenges related to self-esteem and body image.
