Amber Benamou

Amber Benamou is a licensed psychotherapist in Florida with 11 years of clinical experience. She earned her Master of Social Work, graduating summa cum laude from Barry University, and has practiced across settings such as community mental health, addiction services, and children and family programs.

She has a particular commitment to supporting teenagers, parents of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and adults managing anxiety and depression - including women who have experienced postpartum depression and psychosis. Amber aims to bring authenticity to sessions and, when appropriate, a bit of lightness and humor to ease the process.

Amber builds on each person’s existing inner strengths to identify practical solutions and develop coping strategies. She works with teens and adults on concerns like stress, self-esteem and confidence, anxiety, family conflict, depression, grief and loss, and trauma. She is trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which informs her approach to trauma-related work.

Amber approaches therapy as a collaborative process - she and the client work together to address whatever challenges arise. While she values clinical skill, she places strong emphasis on establishing rapport and trust. Her goal is to empower clients to gain insight and practical skills to better navigate life’s changes and demands.

Amber practices as a licensed clinical social worker in Florida, a credential that reflects advanced clinical training and professional licensure.
