Amelia Flower

Amelia Flower earned her master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University in 2014. She is licensed in Florida as a mental health counselor, holding license number MH14938, and serves as a Qualified Supervisor for registered counselor interns. She is also a Certified Correctional Healthcare Professional and has completed certifications in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness.

Amelia currently works as a Licensed Mental Health Specialty Coordinator within the county jail system, and her clinical experience is primarily with adult offenders in correctional settings. Across 10 years of practice she has worked with a wide range of concerns, including suicidality, self-harm, psychosis, conflict and anger, depression and anxiety, homelessness, substance abuse, trauma, and personality disorders. She also conducts risk assessments to determine whether criteria are met for involuntary psychiatric treatment.

Her professional approach blends motivational interviewing to establish rapport with elements of DBT and mindfulness, grounding techniques for people in acute distress, and cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify triggers and build practical coping skills for depression and anxiety. Her role in corrections has also included conflict-resolution and anger management counseling, along with medication-education for individuals presenting with psychosis.

In therapy Amelia emphasizes empathy and compassion while maintaining clear ethical standards and healthy boundaries. She prefers a client-centered model that allows people to move at their own pace while she helps connect past experiences with present behaviors. She also draws on existential approaches to support clients in setting goals and creating a road map toward a healthier, more fulfilling future, guided by the belief that everyone has a purpose. She often cites the quote, “Feel the fear and do it anyway.”

Please note: at this time Amelia only offers online chat and messaging services. If someone prefers video or phone sessions, she recommends reviewing other profiles that meet those preferences and apologizes for any inconvenience. Amelia congratulates anyone taking this first step in self-care and looks forward to speaking with potential clients who feel they would make a good team.
