Amber Sperling
SOCIAL WORKER, PSYCHOTHERAPIST
I am dedicated to helping people thrive in their family life and careers they choose.
My training in trauma and perinatal mental health means I have the expertise you need and deserve when healing from difficult transitions and events. But at the end of the day, you want to know you’re working with someone who “gets” what it means to be a new mom struggling with adjusting to a whole new life, right?
I get it because I’ve lived through the transition to motherhood while working in the healthcare field. I’ve devoted years learning about the impact of trauma and the most effective ways to heal. I know that it feels scary adjusting to so many changes instantly in your life and not knowing why you are feeling overwhelmed, irritable or sad (or maybe all of them) out of nowhere while also feeling like your aspects of your identity are totally different. So when we work together, you won’t just get a trained therapist. You’ll get someone who truly understands what you’re going through.

You remember a time when feeling overwhelmed, confused about you are are and feeling alone weren’t the “norm” … but those days feel like a distant memory. Don’t you wish you had the tools to change that?
You’ve come to the right place.
We help people just like you: ones that have it within them to be healthy and thriving again, but just need the support to get there. We specialize in perinatal mental health: postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, pregnancy overwhelm and perinatal death in addition to supporting clients to heal from the trauma impacting life.
We help you find confidence, happiness and fulfilment by equipping you with the tools you need to understand the impact of trauma and life events on your identity: and to better understand yourself.
Many of today’s solutions for trauma and perinatal mental health are a one-size-fits-all mentality, leading so many to feel like therapy is not for them or they will be dependant on their therapist for the rest of their lives if they start in the therapy journey. We know that your circumstances are unique, so every step is tailored to you keeping in mind your specific goals with your end goal in mind - our time together is for you - not your therapist.
First, we examine the changes and events you have experienced that are causing the problems and distress in your day to day life. Then, we build your resources to tolerate distress and reduce the discomfort you are feeling using the tools that will be most effective for you. Through our work together, you’ll be equipped with the skills and confidence you need to thrive in the life you have built with your family and career.
Get started, today.
