Amber Preston , LPC

Amber Preston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania who brings eight years of clinical experience supporting people facing trauma, mood concerns, and life stressors. She earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from California University of Pennsylvania (now PennWest California) in 2014 and has focused much of her work on post-traumatic stress and trauma-related difficulties.

Her practice also addresses depression, anxiety, ADHD, challenges with peer or family relationships, struggles balancing school or extracurricular commitments, and concerns about identity and self-esteem. As a gender-affirming therapist, she provides informed support for LGBTQIA+ clients and those exploring gender dysphoria or relationship structures such as polyamory and non-monogamy. Amber also works with issues related to attachment, body image, caregiver stress, dissociation, domestic violence, and self-harm among other clinical concerns.

Clinically, Amber draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness practices, and client-centered strategies to help people identify patterns, build coping skills, and pursue meaningful change. She views clients as the authors of their own stories and positions herself as a collaborative guide who offers support, feedback, and challenge as clients work toward clearer values and healthier functioning.
