Hi! My name is Amber Cardemil. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist. I am passionate about working with individuals and families to make treatment a collaborative process. I have experience in providing treatment for eating disorders, food-related concerns and co-occurring conditions. I am a Health at Every Size Healthcare Provider, trained and experienced across all levels of care (inpatient, residential, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient treatment). I have worked in various capacities (admission, assessment, individual, family, group therapy) that informs my work with clients. I work together with clients to find the best approach to each case drawing from evidence-based treatments that work. I have great appreciation for the need to understand individual and family psychodynamics and enjoy working with everyone I encounter. I have extensive training in Family Based Treatment for adolescents who struggle with Anorexia Nervosa. I work to empower families to serve as an ally in their loved one’s recovery. I am flexible in my treatment approach and I utilize empirical evidence for treatment effectiveness. I believe in working from a multidisciplinary approach through working closely with other health care providers and caregivers to achieve best treatment outcomes. In addition to treating eating disorders, I am also passionate about working with mental health concerns related to anxiety, depression and life transitions.
Hello! As a licensed professional counselor, I want to help you achieve your best self. Asking for help can be difficult, so it's great that you are looking into getting help. I have been in practice for 10 years and look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.
I work with adolescents and adults who want more than just healing and coping-I help folks connect the dots for how to live a more successful and joyful life. About half of my practice is focused on performance psychology, while the other half focuses on overcoming depression, trauma, and anxiety. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, driven, and curious. They're not only looking to feel better-they want to know why they feel the way they do. As I often say: descriptions can validate, but explanations heal. Together, we connect the dots between your experiences, patterns, and goals in order to thrive.
When working with clients, I try to create a safe, non-judgmental space that will allow them to honestly share what is going on. I believe that our work together is a partnership, so I respect your feelings, beliefs, opinions and process. I am versatile in evidence-based practice methods, including EMDR and Motivational Interviewing, to help bring you clarity and relief.
I am a warm, kind, non-judgmental listener that has been through a lot of adversity in my life. Due to the hard times I have struggled to overcome I work hard to show both understanding and compassion.
I am dual-certified in primary care and psychiatry. I am licensed in PA. I offer virtual and in-person appointments. I am accepting new clients.
“I don't even know what I'd say.”
If that is what is stopping you, you are exactly who I work with. Maybe you are anxious and cannot name why. Maybe your feelings come faster than you can handle. Maybe you have tried therapy and left feeling like you failed at it.
You didn't. It just wasn't built for you.
So we start differently. Sometimes we talk. Sometimes we move or create. Then we build skills that hold up when things get hard.
The goal is not to make you easier. It is to help you feel more like yourself.
I am a seasoned clinician and have worked in several outpatient and residential settings with diverse client populations, with a particular interest in geriatric, special needs and LGBTQ+ communities. I attended Earlham College and the University of Pennsylvania, where I earned a Masters in Social Work in 1993. Often, I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative and humanistic therapy in my work with clients. I believe in the ability of each individual to grow and make lasting changes.
