I am a License Clinical Social Worker. I reviewed my bachelor and masters degrees from the University of Kentucky in clinical social work. I have worked with a variety of populations to include children to adults later in life. I have experience working with families, individuals, and couples.
I became a therapist because I believe our struggles deserve to be understood, not just fixed. Too often, people come to therapy feeling like a problem to be solved or a checklist to work through, and that's exactly what I want to push back against. My goal is to help you feel more human, not more clinical.
I earned my Master's in Social Work from Northern Kentucky University in 2014 and hold a certificate in ADHD treatment. I work with adults navigating ADHD, depression, anxiety, and substance use disorder, and I bring both professional training and personal familiarity to these areas. I know this stuff isn't abstract. It shows up in real life, in real ways, every day.
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.

My work focuses on helping people heal from trauma, and I’m trained in EMDR. I also work frequently with substance use concerns, depression, and anxiety.
I am a licensed therapist with 16 years of experience supporting individuals through trauma, anxiety, and depression. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices that help foster lasting change. I believe deeply in the healing power of a safe, nonjudgmental therapeutic space. I am passionate about helping people understand their experiences, build resilience, and move toward a more fulfilling life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Lexington, KY
Finding addiction therapists in Lexington starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, prescription substance concerns, gambling, or other behavioral patterns. Some therapists focus on motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or relapse prevention planning. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, depending on their needs and goals.
Lexington has a steady mental health care community, and the right fit may depend on more than specialty alone. You may want a therapist with in-person availability near your usual routine, or you may prefer virtual sessions if travel, work, or privacy shape your schedule. Recovery can change over time, so it can help to look for a therapist who describes a non-judgmental style, experience with harm reduction, and clear session structure. Reading bios can show how each therapist talks about addiction care, substance use, motivation, and long-term support before you book.
Therapy in Lexington can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket expense before starting care. Headway helps you find addiction therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, offer virtual or in-person appointments, and have availability for new clients. You can compare profiles, check estimated costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
