Amber Grace is currently an Intern finishing her Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University. Amber has been a Colorado Springs resident since 2009 when her family moved here thanks to the military. Since then, she has worked hard and received her BA in Psychology from University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) as well as graduate certificate in Contemporary Theory in Couple and Family Systems from Capella University. She is also an active member of National Society of Leadership and Success as well as Pi Chapter of Delta Keppa.

Amber has experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, families, group therapy, and individuals with special needs or neurodiversity and looks forward to working with couples here soon. She believes that empowerment of self-worth and confidence in each individual woman and man is Be-YOU-tiful in their own way. She hopes that couples, families and
individuals are able to establish happiness with and about who they are and the personal
characteristics they were born with. Her vision is to help guide towards establishing healthy
habits and communication techniques as well as remind each other to love or appreciate one
another with the establishment of healthy solutions that with anticipation carry over into
everyday life. Taking the first steps to see a therapist in any situation can be scary, but just
looking and researching takes a lot of strength towards your first steps.
