Amber Smith MA, AMFT

After 10 years in law enforcement I know how heavy the job can feel after shift. You spend your career running towards danger, putting others first and keeping it together no matter what. I understand first hand the unique pressures, the culture and the often unspoken weight carried by first responders. Now as an Associate Marriage and Family therapist with EMDR training I work with first responders, their families and signifcant others to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and strengthen relationships. I also volunteer for the First Responders Support Network (FRSN) at the West Coast Post Trauma Retreat (WCPR).

I know the culture: the dark humor, the "suck it up" mentality and the difficulty of trusting outsiders. My goal is to provide a space where you don't have to explain the job - you can just get to work healing and enjoying the life you worked so hard for.
