Amber Caldera, LICSW, LCSW (She/They)

Virtually in Washington and Oregon

“It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.”

- Amber Caldera, LICSW, LCSW

  • I love my dog, cows, and plants (don’t be surprised when they join us in session – the plants that is!)

  • I’m late diagnosed neurodivergent – and am unpacking and embracing this part of me after a lifetime of misunderstandings and misdiagnoses.  

  • I’m intuitive, witchy, and pansexual.

  • In my free time you can find me watching something horror (like anything ghost hunting!) or at a concert feeling the vibes. 

  • I fully embrace the pin up lifestyle – and love it!

Hey, I’m Amber Caldera, LICSW, LCSW. I’ve been guiding others through trauma and neurodivergent struggles since I was a kid–way before I knew what therapy was. My intuition’s always led the way (if you sense the witchy vibes, we’re on the same page!), but it’s my own journey through trauma, attachment wounds, misdiagnoses, and a late diagnosis of Autism and ADHD that truly shaped my path. 

With a solid education backing me up, I offer neurodivergent, trauma, and LGBTQIA+ therapy because it’s my passion to create a safe space for those in my communities to heal and thrive.

A session with me looks like a comfy “you GET ME” chat with someone who is totally on your side. 

This is a space where you can truly unmask, and feel safe to dive into the stuff the world typically ignores (my neuro-spicy and LGBTQIA+ folx get it). 

My goal is to hold space for you to explore what you’re comfortable with in that moment and guide you toward your best life–while sharing some laughs, and corny movie references along the way.
