I started out as a social worker in community mental health and have worked in many settings (as a therapist in an outpatient clinic and on an ACT team, a service coordinator in corrections housing, homeless outreach, mental health court liasion, mobile crisis clinician, etc.).  After working for 12 years in these various roles, I transitioned into private practice in 2013.  In my private practice, I see individual adults who are struggling with mental health and substance use challenges. I also work with social work clinicians who are seeking supervision towards independent licensure. Please see my website for more details (www.amberholtlcsw.com).

I began offering clinical supervision in 2015. I supervise social workers working towards independent clinical licenses. My approach in supervision is similar to my approach in my clinical practice. I use a strengths based model. I utilize both developmental and systems approaches. I will often use motivational interviewing to help you come to your own answers. I believe that the relationship between therapist/client and supervisor/supervisee is key.
