Amber Robinson, LMFT

I specialize in supporting CREATIVES, ARTISTS and ENTREPRENEURS in Los Angeles who are navigating the unique challenges of turning passion into profession while trying to stay mentally and emotionally grounded.

My Areas of Expertise:

• Anxiety therapy and chronic stress management for creative professionals

• Burnout and creative fatigue recovery

• Imposter syndrome counseling for artists and entrepreneurs

• Childhood trauma therapyand complex family dynamics

• Creative career counseling and work-life balance

• Therapy for business owners and freelancers

These specialties aren't just areas of study—they're lived experiences. I've felt the overwhelm, the pressure to succeed, the moments of self-doubt. But I've also experienced healing, and I'm here to help you do the same.

Therapy with me feels more like a deep conversation with someone who truly gets it. I show up as a human first, therapist second. Expect warmth, humor, honesty, and a safe space to explore what’s holding you back — and what’s waiting to emerge.

My trauma-informed, person-centered approach combines:

• Relational, collaborative care tailored to creative minds

• EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for trauma, anxiety, and creative blocks

• Gentle but honest goal-setting and accountability

• Attachment Based Therapy and mindfulness techniques

• A mix of soul-searching and laughter (because healing doesn't always have to be heavy)

We’ll start by easing what’s painful now, then work through the deeper patterns and past experiences that may be influencing your confidence, relationships, and creative flow today.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a Special FX makeup artist. Raised by artists, creativity has always been in my blood — literally. Later, I returned to school and earned my degree in mental health—and in that transition, my creative life took a backseat. Eventually, I realized I didn't have to choose.

Now, I blend my passions for mental health advocacy and design through a clothing line dedicated to suicide prevention and mental health awareness.

As a fellow creative and business owner, I understand:

• The highs and lows of turning a vision into something real

• The grind of working in industries that often undervalue your labor

• The emotional weight of building a brand or business while trying to maintain a balanced life

• The pressure to be "successful" in a world that measures worth by fame and fortune

As a designer, I understand the beauty that is creativity. I know the satisfaction of seeing your vision come to life. I also understand how difficult it can be when society doesn't give your hard work merit. We are made to feel our work doesn't matter if we aren't rich and famous. It can be discouraging, confusing and overwhelming all at the same time. Trust me, I get it!
