Prepare to be inspired by Amber Thuston, LPCC, founder of Healing with Amber, where grief therapy and spiritually integrated support come together to create space for deep healing and transformation. Amber's work blends evidence-based clinical care with psychospiritual practices, offering grief counseling, spiritual counseling, evidential mediumship, intuitive tarot guidance, and community education. Her practice is rooted in compassionate, culturally aware care, with a special focus on supporting BIPOC women navigating loss, life transitions, and the search for deeper meaning.
