Amber Gattie, MS, LAC
You are imperfect, you are wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging – Brene Brown
Hello, my name is Amber Gattie, and I am a Licensed Associate Therapist (LAC) with New Point of View Counseling, located in the Phoenix, Arizona, Ahwatukee Foothills. I am passionate mental health advocate and therapist dedicated to helping individuals achieve greater emotional well-being. I hold a degree in Psychology from Arizona State University and am currently pursuing my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Grand Canyon University.
My professional journey is rooted in a commitment to ongoing learning and a deep understanding of the human experience. I specialize in a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), to provide comprehensive support for my clients. My approach is grounded in creating a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental space where you can feel truly valued and heard.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse populations and cultures, gaining hands-on experience with a wide range of challenges. My focus areas include anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, and family dysfunction. I am passionate about empowering individuals, especially within the LGBTQ community, to navigate life's struggles and overcome negative thought patterns.
In addition to my specialties, I teach essential life skills such as emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, and mindfulness. These tools help individuals gain control over unwanted emotions and dysfunctional thought patterns, leading to a more fulfilling and balanced life.
At the core of my work, I believe in the power of authenticity, as Brene Brown so beautifully describes: "Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we actually are."
I am here to support you on your journey towards healing and self-discovery. My goal is not just to help you heal, but to guide you in creating lasting positive change that fosters long-term well-being. Together, we can build a path towards hope, confidence, and personal empowerment.
Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or negative thought patterns, I am here to help. My holistic approach integrates various therapeutic techniques, tailored to your unique needs, to ensure you feel supported and empowered at every step of your journey.
Specialties Include:
- Anxiety, Depression, and Mood Disorders
- Trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Relationship Issues and Life Transitions
- Family Dysfunction and Communication Skills
- LGBTQ Support and Affirmative Therapy
- Personality Disorders, Narcissistic Abuse
- Codependency, relationship addiction, boundary issues
I understand that seeking therapy can be a vulnerable process, and you may feel unsure or stuck right now. But I want you to know that you don’t have to go through this alone. I am here to listen, guide, and help you rebuild the life you deserve.
If you're ready to start your journey toward healing and growth, I look forward to the opportunity to work with you. Together, we can create a positive and transformative experience where your well-being and growth take center stage.
