Professional statement
Amber Rickert is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Los Angeles, CA who utilizes a holistic, mind-body approach to help clients work through such issues as trauma, anxiety, and depression.
Amber warmly welcomes clients who are committed to change; those who may have been in prior therapy but have not yet fully shifted fundamental maladaptive patterns, and who are open to new ways of thinking and feeling about themselves. She uses both somatic modalities and a cutting edge technique called Emotional Transformation Therapy (ETT) to help clients settle their nervous systems and resolve their trauma and suffering.
Amber's work is grounded in attachment and relational theory, and is rooted in the belief that healing is a fundamental right shared by all humans. Through her current work as a Director of Outpatient Services in south Los Angeles – as well as extensive experience in working with children and families – she has grown to fundamentally understand the importance of attachment, safety, and repair in the context of relationships. Her work with clients emphasizes that importance.
Amber's office is located in Highland Park, in northeast Los Angeles; she is also available via telehealth sessions. She looks forward to working with you.
