Amber Cardenas, LMFT-Associate

My name is Amber Cardenas. I specialize in providing therapy for couples and families, and have worked with students from elementary to high school as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate. My educational background includes a BA in Psychology from the University of Texas at San Antonio, and a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Abilene Christian University. 

I’ve been married for almost twenty years and have four children, ages ranging from seven to teens. I grew up in the beautiful Texas Hill Country and have owned and operated a local business with my husband for the past seventeen years. I have first-hand experience in understanding unique relationships within the family dynamic. 

I enjoy working with couples and families seeking to uncover issues, work through hardships, and elevate their relationships with each other. I care about Marriage and Family Therapy because I want to help improve the mental health of my community. I believe that healthy families lead to healthier communities. I truly enjoy the opportunity to share in another person or family’s unique journey. We are all wonderfully made and deserve to live our best, authentic lives and build stronger, healthier relationships. 

I utilize a client-centered, non-judgmental approach to help clients understand patterns of behavior, thought processes and issues challenging them, and work with the clients to reach their full potential and fulfill their goals. I employ different modalities depending on the client’s needs, including Emotionally Focused therapy for couples, Emotionally Focused Family Therapy, Solutions Focused Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as well as others.

It is courageous to reach out for support and sometimes improving your life is a daunting pursuit. I would be honored to connect with you and walk with you as you take this important next step in your journey.
