Therapist in Chesapeake, Virginia Amber McGill, Therapist

Amber McGill, LCSW, helps individuals in Virginia find clarity, resilience, and balance through compassionate and evidence-based mental health care. She provides individual therapy for children, adolescents, and adults, focusing on creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can openly explore their emotions, experiences, and goals. Amber’s approach is warm yet structured, guiding clients through challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, and behavioral issues while helping them develop lasting coping strategies. Amber is particularly passionate about working with individuals who face ADHD, PTSD/trauma, and childhood behavior concerns. She understands how these conditions can affect daily functioning, relationships, and self-esteem, and she integrates a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based techniques to promote healing and personal growth. Her goal is to help clients better understand themselves and build tools that enhance emotional regulation, focus, and connection with others. With deep experience supporting diverse populations—including members of the LGBTQ+ community, military veterans, and families involved in adoption or foster care—Amber creates an affirming therapeutic space rooted in respect and authenticity. She believes every individual’s story is unique, and she tailors her approach to meet each person where they are, empowering them to move forward with confidence. Outside of her work at LifeStance Health, Amber enjoys traveling and spending quality time with her family.
