Amber Rentfro (Dealy)

Amber Rentfro (Dealy) chose this profession after her own experiences with struggle, loss, and recovery led her to a deep belief in people’s capacity to heal. She brings a personal commitment to being present and guiding others through life’s challenges, believing that being truly seen and understood supports greater well-being and connection.

She is a licensed professional counselor in Missouri, holding an MO LPC credential (MO LPC 2018041816). With three years of clinical experience, Amber specializes in treating stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, depression, addictions, and concerns related to LGBT issues, relationships, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career difficulties, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.

Amber integrates evidence-based approaches including dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Gestalt therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). She combines these modalities with client-centered work to understand each person’s unique needs and to help them learn about and support their own growth. She has particular experience working with people who have borderline personality disorder and with co-occurring and more persistent mental health conditions.

She has trained in the modalities she uses and has also used them in her own therapy, which informs her clinical sensibility. Amber describes this work as her passion and is grateful for the opportunity to accompany people through change and healing.

For communication, Amber checks messages on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 10pm and responds at those times. She notes that she will have increased availability in the near future. She thanks those who take the step to seek help and recognizes the courage it takes to begin this journey.
