Therapy for High-Functioning Individuals Navigating Stress, Identity & Nervous System Overwhelm
A space to understand your patterns, regulate your nervous system, and feel more like yourself again — without losing what makes you capable. Grounded in somatic therapy and trauma-informed care.
You're in the right place if…
You don't need to understand it yet. You just need to recognize yourself here.
What you're carrying might look like this
Your patterns aren't flaws. They're meaningful responses to real experiences. The work is understanding them — so you can finally have a choice.
Nervous System Overwhelm
"I go from high-functioning to completely depleted — and I don't know how to stop the cycle."
We track what's happening in your nervous system in real time — noticing the patterns of activation and shutdown, and building genuine capacity to regulate rather than just push through.
Trauma & Complex Trauma
"What happened to me still shapes how I move through the world."
Many clients carry trauma — including relational, developmental, and sexual trauma — that hasn't been fully processed or even named yet. In our work, I help you understand what your system has been holding, and we move only as fast as feels safe.
Over-Responsibility & People-Pleasing
"I feel responsible for everyone's emotions. I don't know where they end and I begin."
These patterns have roots — usually in early attachment and relational experiences. We trace them, understand them, and build the capacity for boundaries that don't feel like betrayal.
Identity & Life Transitions
"I'm changing — and I don't fully recognize myself yet."
Whether it's postpartum, perimenopause, a career shift, or a deeper identity question — transitions that involve the body and the self deserve space that honors their complexity.
Body Disconnection
"I live in my head. My body feels like something I manage, not something I inhabit."
Somatic Experiencing-informed work helps you come back to your body — not as a source of threat, but as a source of information, grounding, and eventually, safety.
ADHD & Neurodivergence
"I've always known something was different — but no one ever explained it in a way that made sense."
Amber works with clients navigating diagnosed and undiagnosed ADHD — with particular attention to how it presents differently across genders and identities. ADHD in women, girls, and LGBTQIA+ individuals is frequently missed or misunderstood. This is a space that sees the full picture.
Areas of deep specialization
Amber works with children (ages 6+), adolescents, and adults across the lifespan — with particular depth in the following areas.
Somatic & body-based healing
Using Somatic Experiencing-informed practice, EMDR, and mind-body integration, I help you notice what your body is carrying — and create the conditions for it to release, not just be understood. This is nervous system regulation therapy in its most embodied form.
Women's health & life transitions
Puberty, postpartum, fertility journeys, perimenopause — each transition involves both the body and the self. Amber holds the full complexity of these experiences with care, attunement, and real clinical depth.
Trauma — including relational & sexual
Many clients — particularly women and LGBTQIA+ individuals — carry trauma, including sexual and relational trauma, that has never been fully named or processed. I pay attention to what emerges at your pace, always with your nervous system as the guide.
Affirming for all identities
Amber's practice is inclusive and affirming — safe for LGBTQIA+ clients, identity exploration, and the full spectrum of who you are and who you are becoming. All of you belongs here.
Also offers Counselor Supervision & Consultation. As a Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor (CPCS), Amber provides clinical supervision and consultation for licensed counselors and associates. Her supervision model is developmental, relational, and grounded in the same somatic and trauma-informed principles she brings to client work.
What makes this different
Amber listens not only to your words — but to your body, your breath, and the subtle cues that reveal what's actually happening beneath the surface.
Somatic-first
Amber tracks nervous system shifts in real time — noticing breath, posture, micro-expressions, and subtle cues that reveal what words often can't. This is somatic therapy at the level where change actually happens.
Nothing about you is wrong
One of the first things clients notice is that Amber sees patterns quickly — often naming something in the first few sessions that's been unnamed for years. That recognition, met with care rather than judgment, is where real change becomes possible.
We can hold both things at once
You can be capable and exhausted. Strong and struggling. High-functioning and quietly falling apart. Amber's work holds both — and her directness is always balanced with the safety your nervous system needs to actually move.
What to expect
Warm, attuned, and genuinely present. Sessions move at your pace — and your nervous system is always the guide.
Truly seen
Amber pays close attention — to your words, yes, but also to your breath, your posture, the pause before you answer. She reflects back what she notices with care and precision. Most clients feel understood in ways they haven't experienced before. I often notice shifts in your system before you have words for them — and we use that awareness as a guide for the work.
Safe to slow down
There's no pressure to perform or have it figured out. In our work, we move only as fast as your nervous system is ready for — creating the kind of safety where insight emerges experientially, not just intellectually.
Curious, not clinical
Amber brings curiosity and respect to everything you bring in. Nothing is too messy, too complex, or too difficult to hold. Her presence is warm, grounded, and free of judgment.
Grounded and resourced
Clients often leave sessions feeling more settled, more connected to themselves, and with a clearer sense of how their inner world actually works. The work is experiential — and it stays with you.
Serving Atlanta & Georgia
High-functioning anxiety, nervous system overwhelm, and complex trauma often go unrecognized — because from the outside, everything looks fine. The exhaustion, the cycles of high and crash, the disconnection from your body — these are real, and they deserve real support.
Amber works with children (ages 6+), adolescents, and adults navigating trauma, nervous system dysregulation, identity, women's health transitions, and the relational patterns that keep people stuck. Her approach is somatic, trauma-informed, and grounded in the belief that nothing about you is wrong — only that your patterns made sense once, and now you have the opportunity to choose differently. She also works with diagnosed and undiagnosed ADHD, with particular attention to how it presents differently across genders and identities — including in women, girls, and LGBTQIA+ individuals who are frequently underdiagnosed or misunderstood.
She offers in-person therapy in Peachtree Corners, GA, and virtual sessions throughout the state of Georgia. This approach is especially effective for those seeking somatic therapy for trauma, anxiety, and nervous system regulation in Atlanta and across Georgia.

Amber Amick, LPC, NCC, CPCS
Founder, Owner & Co-CEO · She/Her · Kula Wellness Group
My work is rooted in helping people feel safe enough to be honest with themselves.
Honest about their patterns. About their lived experiences. About their capacity to change. I believe healing begins when we feel safe in our bodies and truly seen in our experience — and everything I do is devoted to creating spaces where that becomes possible.
I pay attention to more than words — to the nervous system, the body, the subtle cues that reveal what feels safe, what feels guarded, and what is ready to move. In our work, we track patterns, sensations, and inner responses together, allowing insight to emerge not just cognitively, but experientially. I help you understand not only what you're struggling with, but how your body learned to carry it — and what it needs to finally let it go.
My approach is informed by the foundations of trauma neuroscience and mind-body healing — drawing on Peter Levine, Bessel van der Kolk, and the broader field of somatic and attachment-based therapy. At the heart of it all is a belief I hold firmly: nothing about you is wrong. Your patterns are meaningful responses to real experiences. What once protected you may no longer serve you — but it still deserves understanding rather than judgment.
Whether you are seeking personal healing, professional support, or community connection, my hope is that you leave our work together feeling more resourced, more empowered, and more at home in yourself.
As Co-Owner and Co-CEO of Kula Wellness Group, Amber provides leadership, clinical oversight, and direction for the practice. She holds a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) license in Georgia, is a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC), a Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor (CPCS), and an EMDR Practitioner trained in Somatic Experiencing (Intermediate Level 3, SEI International).
Common questions
No question is too small. Here's what people often want to know before reaching out.
How much are sessions with Amber?
Amber's rate is $175 for 50-minute sessions, and $300 for the first 90-minute intake appointment.
Does Amber offer clinical supervision?
Yes. As a Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor (CPCS), Amber provides individual and group supervision for licensed counselors and associates in Georgia. Her supervision model is developmental, relational, and somatic-informed.
What age groups does Amber work with?
Amber sees clients ages 6 and up — children, teens, and adults across the lifespan.
How do I know if Amber is the right fit?
If you're looking for a deeply attuned, body-based approach — someone who will help you understand your patterns at their root and feel safe in your own nervous system — Amber is likely a strong fit. A free consultation is the best way to find out.
Do you take insurance?
Kula Wellness Group is an out-of-network practice and does not work directly with insurance. We can provide a superbill for potential reimbursement if you have out-of-network benefits. Reimbursement depends on your individual plan, including your deductible and coverage. We also offer a limited number of reduced-fee and scholarship spots based on availability.
What is a superbill and how does it work?
A superbill is a detailed receipt for therapy services that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. It includes session dates, fees, and a diagnosis — which insurance companies require to process claims. Because a diagnosis is required, we typically complete 4–8 sessions before issuing the first superbill to ensure clinical accuracy. After that, superbills are provided monthly. Reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends on your specific plan.
Do you offer reduced-fee or scholarship options?
Yes. Each therapist offers a limited number of reduced-fee or scholarship spots each quarter. Availability is limited and may vary. You can learn more and apply at kulawellnessgroup.com/scholarship-program.
What is the difference between in-person and virtual therapy?
The experience can feel slightly different, but the work is the same. Some people feel more grounded in a shared physical space, while others feel more at ease opening up from home. Both formats support meaningful, effective therapy — we'll help you find what works best for you.
What should I expect in the first session?
Your first session is an extended intake designed to help you feel comfortable and begin building a connection with your therapist. You'll review informed consent together, have time to ask questions, and your therapist will begin getting to know you — your history, current concerns, and goals. There's no pressure to share everything right away. Early sessions are focused on building trust, safety, and a foundation where you feel comfortable being open and honest.
How do I get started?
You can start by reaching out through our contact form or booking a free consultation. From there, we'll help guide you toward the right therapist based on your needs, preferences, and availability. If you already know who you'd like to work with, you can request them directly.
Take the first step
You don't have to keep carrying this alone.
There's a reason your system responds the way it does. Together, we'll understand it — and create real, lasting change.
