Therapist Bio

My name is Amber Sargent. I am the owner of Mulberry Counseling and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) I am truly so excited that you are here, because that means that you have decided that you are worth the investment in yourself. I hope that we can get to know each other more soon. 

Some things to know about me as you decide on a therapist:

• I am licensed in the State of Georgia, and have been working as a mental health counselor since 2020. I have been working in this field since 2017. 
• My undergraduate degree is from Auburn University and I have a Bachelor of Science in Human Development & Family Studies. 
• My masters is in Social Work, from the University of Alabama. I am a walking contradiction having gone to rival schools in Alabama - War Eagle! 
• Fun fact about me: I worked in an animal hospital for two years in between schooling and I love all animals. 
• I have an extensive background in child welfare, abuse and neglect, foster care, and working with individuals who have experienced significant trauma. I have also worked within the public school system and non-profits in various roles to support individuals and families over the last 10 years. I believe that these experiences help me to better understand other's unique experiences. Remaining calm in a crisis, and separating the difference between a crisis and a challenge is a skill I have developed over the years. 
•  In therapy, I use only evidenced based practices - using elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing. I take a strength-based, trauma-informed, and holistic approach to meet clients right where they are with various planned or unplanned life changes. 
• My hope is that everyone who I work with leaves feeling supported, safe, and empowered to achieve their goals.
• My goal is to support you in your goals and partner alongside you as you navigate the beautiful and challenging complexities of life.
