Specializes In:
Amber Drumheller, PMHNP, helps children, teens, adults, and seniors navigate mental health challenges, substance use concerns, and emotional struggles with compassionate, individualized care. Serving patients across Missouri through LifeStance Health, she provides medication management and supportive guidance designed to help patients stabilize mood, improve functioning, and enhance overall well-being. Amber works with clients managing ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and trauma, creating treatment plans that meet each patient’s unique needs and goals.
Amber has a particular focus on supporting individuals recently discharged from psychiatric hospitals and those navigating parental custody matters. She integrates evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, exposure therapy, and family-focused strategies to support patients through these challenging transitions. Amber also provides specialized care for children and teens with behavioral challenges, adolescents and adults experiencing school avoidance or post-partum depression, and individuals working through complex medical, reproductive, or health-related concerns.
She treats children, adolescents, teens, young adults, adults, and seniors, providing a safe, non-judgmental space for growth, healing, and skill-building. Amber works with individuals, families, and caregivers, addressing relationship dynamics, emotional regulation, trauma recovery, and coping with life transitions. She also serves populations including adoption/foster care, LGBTQ+ individuals, first responders, military members, and those with developmental or neurological challenges.
Outside of her clinical practice, Amber enjoys crafting, fishing, spending time with her furbabies, and creating meaningful experiences with family. These personal interests reflect her dedication to balance, connection, and holistic well-being.
