Amber Robinson, LMSW (she/they)

Clinical Therapist


TL;DR:  You'll find me to be warm and non-judgemental as a therapist. I am client-led, collaborating with clients & trusting in their innate ability to heal. Together, we can find a path to healing that works specifically for you in a way that is gender-affirming, neuro-affirming, trauma-sensitive, & harm-reducing.

Availability: Tuesday - Friday from 12PM-7PM (virtual or in person at our Decatur & Kennesaw offices)

Are you feeling overwhelmed by recent events? Maybe even powerless? You're not alone. In a society that is based in heterosexual, cisgender, and neurotypical privilege, navigating life can be challenging AF for queer, trans, gender-expansive, & neurodivergent folks. As a queer-identifying therapist specializing in relational and complex trauma, I partner with my clients to provide support & empowerment in an anti-oppressive, gender-affirming, trauma-sensitive, & harm reducing manner

You’ll find me to be warm & non-judgmental, centering the therapeutic relationship in my work with clients. The relationship we co-create promotes so much healing in and of itself. I love to work with creative teens & adults healing from difficult childhood experiences & relational trauma. 

My approaches are both attachment-based and body-based, as these two qualities are crucial to recovery from complex and relational trauma. I am also trained in Brainspotting - a mind-body healing modality - to facilitate healing from adverse life experiences. I am passionate about helping clients heal the root cause of present-day struggles. Trauma is at the root of SO much — understanding its impact on the brain & body, finding ways to regulate, and digging up the root (gently & once safety is established) can be incredibly empowering. 

When I’m not working, you’ll find me creating music and/or art, cuddling with my cat, collecting tarot decks, connecting with nature, or reading 2-3 books at a time. Getting to work as a queer therapist within the queer community is a privilege and honor that never ceases to amaze me.

Starting the process of working with a new therapist can feel daunting. Know that in our work together, you are in complete control of the pace. We are in this together. Don’t hesitate to schedule your free 15-minute consult with me if you feel like we would be a good fit for sessions together. I'd be honored to partner with you.

Fun Facts!

  1. I’m a singer/songwriter! I like all genres of music & enjoy combining them when writing my own songs.

  2. I have a cat – Oliver – that I’m obsessed with, and a big goofy dog – Sawyer – that I love dearly.
