About A2B

Welcome! Are you tired of showing up for everyone but yourself? Do you ever wonder how much of your identity has been shaped by survival rather than choice?

 

A2B Restorative Counseling PLLC exists to support adults navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, unresolved emotional wounds, and complex relational dynamics. Rooted in attachment theory, our work together integrates person-centered, trauma-informed care with cognitive and somatic approaches—always tailored to the unique needs of each client. Faith integration is available and guided by your preferences.

 

The name A2B reflects the journey of healing: moving from where you are to where you’re meant to be. Like the transformation of a butterfly, it’s a process of emergence—one that involves discomfort, change, and deep inner work. The path isn’t linear, but with the right support and space to grow, it is possible—and it is sacred. You don’t have to do it alone.

About Me & My Approach...

You’ve spent years being the dependable one — the caretaker, the problem-solver, the “strong one” everyone can count on. On the outside, you hold it all together. Inside, you may feel drained, disconnected from yourself and others, and stuck in patterns that leave you questioning your worth.

 

Hi, I’m Amber — a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (supervised by Kimberly Parker, MS, LPC-S, LCDC) and the founder of A2B Restorative Counseling PLLC. I hold a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Amberton University and bring a steady, intuitive presence to the therapy space.

 

I know what it’s like to carry invisible wounds — the kind that keep you locked in cycles of people-pleasing or perfectionism. Many of my clients come to therapy after decades of putting everyone else first, unsure how to break the cycle or reconnect with who they truly are.

 

For many, these patterns of over-functioning, self-abandonment, and chronic self-doubt are rooted in early family dynamics, unresolved attachment wounds, or relationship experiences that were controlling, critical, or one-sided. Over time, these experiences can create a carefully constructed persona — a version of self shaped by what others expect or need. That image may smile when it wants to scream, nod when it disagrees, and apologize for existing in its full truth.

 

In our work together, you can expect a collaborative, compassionate space to unpack your story without judgment. Using trauma-informed approaches, we will work to:

​

• Identify and shift the beliefs keeping you stuck

• Heal unresolved trauma and emotional pain

• Address mother and father wounds at their root

• Build strong, healthy boundaries

• Learn to trust your inner voice

 

This isn’t quick-fix work — it’s deep, lasting transformation. Much like a “breakup” from the old image of yourself — the one shaped by what others expected — therapy can help you release the roles that no longer serve you so you can live as your authentic self: connected, confident, and clear about who you are and what you deserve.

FAQs

1. Do you offer virtual or in-person sessions?

I offer both! I offer virtual sessions Monday through Thursday through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform (Simple Practice). You must be located in Texas during our sessions. In-person sessions are offered Mondays and Thursdays however in-person appointments outside of these days may be available by special request. After scheduling, you’ll receive detailed instructions based on the option you choose.

 

2. How long are sessions and what do they cost?

Individual therapy sessions are 55 minutes in length and are offered at a standard rate of $90. For those seeking a shorter format, 30-minute sessions are available at $50.

 

I also offer Walk & Talk therapy on Saturdays — a unique, outdoor experience for those who prefer therapy outside of the traditional space.These sessions are 70 minutes and offered at $100.

 

*Extended sessions beyond the standard length may be available upon request.

 

3. Do you accept insurance?

I am not in-network with insurance providers at this time, but I can provide a superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

 

4. Who do you work with?

I work exclusively with adults (21+). At this time, I do not offer therapy for children or teens, as my areas of focus are designed specifically for adult clients.

 

5. What happens in the first session?

Our first session is a chance for us to begin building a connection. We’ll talk about what led you to therapy, explore your goals, and go over your personal history and relevant clinical background. It’s a relaxed, collaborative space where you can share at your own pace—there’s no pressure to have it all figured out.

 

6. How do I get started?

You can request a free 15-minute consultation or schedule directly by clicking "Request An Appointment". You can also submit an inquiry via e-mail to amber@a2brestorativecounseling.com. Once your appointment is confirmed, you’ll receive a link to complete intake paperwork before your first session.​

 

7. How long will therapy take?

The timeline varies depending on your goals, history, and consistency. We’ll check in regularly to evaluate progress together.

​

8. How do I know if you’re the right therapist for me?

Finding the right fit is so important. I encourage you to explore my website, read about my approach, and reach out with any questions. If we meet and it doesn’t feel like the right match, I’m happy to help you find someone who might be a better fit. Your comfort and trust matter most.
