About Sarah Amberg, MA, LPC, LAC

My own path has been one of seeking a deeper connection with my higher Self, my loved ones, and with spirit. I am endlessly curious about the magical, the taboo, the mysterious aspects of life. I have learned and continue to learn from being in relationship as a student, teacher, daughter, sister, friend, life partner, mother, and shamanic practitioner/channel. I continue to work on balancing my analytical mind with my deeply feeling parts, and remembering and trusting inherent divinity.

I love working with adults who want a deeper connection with their higher Self and believe there is more to life than they are currently experiencing. I believe in your inherent divinity, no matter what has happened to you in this lifetime. One of my favorite things a client can say is, "this may be weird, but..." Whatever it is, I'm here for it.

My Education & Experience

I hold an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, emphasis in Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counseling from Naropa University. I also hold an MFA in Creative Writing from Goddard College, and I spent the first 13 years of my career as a high school English teacher in San Diego, CA. While attending graduate school in Boulder, I fell in love with Colorado and have made it my new home.

In my time as a therapist I have worked with a variety of individuals, including those dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, domestic violence, and substance use disorders, and adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse.

I am a Licensed Addiction Counselor and previously worked as a primary therapist at an addiction treatment center. I completed my training in EMDR trauma therapy at Maiberger Institute in Boulder, CO, and I completed Level 1 IFS training with the IFS Institute.

In order to truly show up for you as a therapist, I am committed to doing my own therapeutic and healing work. I have used the modalities I practice, and engage with my own Internal Family System on a daily basis. This allows me to stay in Self energy and support you as you work with your parts system.

In addition, I have trained in shamanic work for the past eight years, which allows me to bring an intuitive, spiritual lens to sessions.

My practice is LGBTQ+ friendly.

What my clients have to say

"Sarah is an amazing therapist who is really good at what she does. She is very knowledgable and intelligent. I was always impressed she could identify exactly what I was experiencing or going through from a psychology standpoint, which really helped me understand myself better and make changes possible if needed. I saw Sarah almost every week for over a year and I never dreaded going to my appointment and also enjoyed and benefited from all of them. The only reason I stopped is because I moved out of state. She helped me with a lot of self and spiritual growth. I appreciated her mindfulness background. I also found it really easy to set up or communicate with her about appointments since you can just text her. I would recommend her to anyone."

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Sarah Amberg for a few months. Sarah was able to help me work with parts of myself that I hadn’t looked at as “parts”. I felt the feelings over the years, but hadn’t worked with them as parts. The work I did with Sarah has me on the way to being able to let go and move on from these issues that have affected me for decades. She is caring, compassionate, and a skilled healer.”
