Hi, I’m a therapist who believes healing doesn’t have to feel stiff, awkward, or like you’re sitting in a room being judged by someone holding a clipboard.
My style is warm, down-to-earth, and often sprinkled with humor—because sometimes we need to laugh so we don’t fall apart, and sometimes we just need to laugh while we’re putting ourselves back together.
I specialize in working with people who don’t fit neatly into one diagnostic box—folks with dual diagnoses, complex histories, depression that doesn’t budge easily, and the “I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t help” crowd. If you’ve been called “a lot,” “too much,” or “hard to treat,” you’re exactly my kind of person.
What therapy with me feels like:
Safe, supportive, and human—not clinical and cold
A place where you can be messy, honest, sarcastic, or quiet
Collaborative, with plenty of gentle challenge when you need it
Rooted in evidence-based strategies, but delivered in a way that feels real and doable
I am a retired Air Force Master Sgt. and an LCSW who specializes in addiction and mental health. I understand these issues because I have lived through both of them. I have two masters degrees, one in military social work, and one in addiction social work. I graduated from the University of Louisville, and am excited to get to meet new people and help them get their lives back.
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.

Life can be overwhelming. As your therapist, I can help you deal with life's changes without judgement. My goal is to assist you with enhancing your life and discovering your purpose.
I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, panic, depression, grief, identity concerns, and major life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how to keep carrying everything on their own.
My approach is affirming, trauma-informed, and grounded in practical tools.

I am a board certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 12 years experience in the medical field. Not only do I offer adult ADHD evaluations and treatment planning but I also live with ADHD, providing my clients with a unique lived experience and clinical expertise. I also work with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, and sleep related issues.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is passionate about working with women and children, providing a compassionate and supportive space to navigate emotional challenges, build coping skills, and foster growth. My approach blends warmth with a multitude of practices to meet each client where they are. I believe every individual brings unique strengths, experiences, and hopes into therapy, and that growth can look different for everyone, from finding small moments of joy to navigating life’s most difficult losses.
My goal is to help you reconnect with yourself, recognize your potential, and move forward with greater clarity and compassion. Even in challenging seasons, I believe there is always space for hope, healing, and possibility.

Frequently asked questions


Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Kentucky
Searching for therapists in Kentucky starts with finding someone whose training and experience match what you want support with. Across the state, therapy needs and available therapists can vary between urban and rural areas, so it helps to narrow your search by concern, specialty, and care style. You might look for a therapist who works with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Location and format also matter when comparing Kentucky therapists. If you live near Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, or a smaller community, you may want to decide whether in-person sessions, virtual sessions, or a mix of both fits your schedule best. You can also compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before you book can help you understand how a therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.
The cost of mental health care in Kentucky varies, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps make that process clearer by letting you enter your insurance details, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and find therapists who match your preferences. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your location and plan as you search. Browse therapists in Kentucky, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
