Who we work with.
Oasis is built for kids, teens, young adults, and adults navigating real life, and the harder parts of it.
Children
Young children rarely walk in and describe what is wrong. It shows up instead as meltdowns, stomachaches before school, sleep that has fallen apart, or a kid who has gone quiet in a way that is not like them. Work at this age is concrete and often playful, and it always involves the parents.
- Anxiety and worry
- Big feelings and meltdowns
- Behavior at home or school
- Sleep and separation difficulty
- Grief and family change
- Early trauma
When to reach out. If school mornings have become a fight, or your child seems more anxious than their friends and it isn't easing, it's worth a conversation.
Preteens & teens
Adolescence is supposed to be turbulent. It is not supposed to be unbearable. The line between the two is where therapy is useful, and teenagers usually know which side they are on before the adults around them do. Amber talks to teens directly and honestly, which is generally what earns their attention.
- Anxiety and depression
- Self-harm and self-injury
- Eating disorders and body image
- Identity and belonging
- Academic and social pressure
- Trauma and PTSD
When to reach out. If your teen has withdrawn, stopped doing things they used to love, or you have found evidence of self-harm, reach out now rather than waiting to see if it passes.
Young adults
The stretch between leaving home and feeling like an adult is longer and messier than anyone admits. Independence, first serious relationships, career starts and false starts, and the growing gap between the life you were raised to expect and the one you are actually in.
- Life transitions and launching
- Relationship patterns
- Anxiety and burnout
- Identity and autonomy
- Family-of-origin dynamics
- Depression and motivation
When to reach out. If you are functioning on paper but feel like you are running on fumes, that counts as a reason to come in.
Adults
Many adults arrive having managed something for years. The anxiety is old, the relationship pattern is familiar, the low mood has been background noise for so long it stopped registering as a problem. Often they have been to therapy before and left with insight but no change.
- Trauma and PTSD
- Anxiety and panic
- Depression and mood disorders
- Relationship and attachment patterns
- ADHD in adulthood
- Life transitions and loss
When to reach out. If your life looks fine from the outside and has stopped working on the inside, that is precisely the thing this work is for.
Families
Sometimes the person struggling is one member of the household, and sometimes the struggle belongs to the system around them. When a child or teen's difficulty has started reshaping how the whole family operates, working with only one person leaves most of the problem in the room.
- Parent and child conflict
- Supporting a struggling teen
- Communication breakdown
- Divorce, separation, and blending
- Grief and family change
- Boundaries and roles
When to reach out. If everyone in the house has organized themselves around one person's difficulty, family work is usually faster than individual work alone.
You don't need the right words to reach out.
Plenty of people arrive unsure what to call what they're carrying. Naming it together is part of the work.
What we treat.
A diagnosis is not required to start. If what you are dealing with is not on this list, ask anyway.
Anxiety
Persistent worry, panic, avoidance, and the physical symptoms that come with them.
Depression
Low mood, lost motivation, and the flatness that makes everything cost more than it should.
Trauma & PTSD
Single-incident and long-running trauma, treated at a pace your system can handle.
ADHD
Attention, executive function, and the shame that tends to accumulate around both.
Mood disorders
Including bipolar spectrum presentations, worked alongside prescribers where needed.
Eating disorders
Specialist certified care, weight-inclusive, for all ages and all body sizes.

Self-harm addressed directly and without alarm, with skills that give it somewhere else to go.
Relationship issues
Recurring patterns in partnerships, friendships, families, and work.
Life transitions
Divorce, loss, career change, new parenthood, and the identity shifts underneath them.
If therapy didn't work before, that doesn't mean it can't.
Many of Amber's clients have been in therapy before, sometimes for years, and didn't get what they needed. A different therapist, a different approach, and a different result are all possible. If that's where you are, reach out.
