Meet Our Founder: Ambur
Why I Chose This Area:
Like many therapists, my areas of focus are deeply connected to my own lived experiences. My journey with ADHD has fueled my passion for supporting clients in embracing their unique strengths and building tools for success. I’m fascinated by how adults carry their past experiences into their present, often through defense mechanisms and protective strategies. My work is driven by the desire to help people release these patterns and find freedom and connection.
What I Want Clients to Know About Me:
In addition to being a therapist, I am honored to lead Integrate Therapy & Wellness Collective, a practice I founded in April 2023. My goal was to create a team of somatic, holistic, and passionate trauma therapists—and together, we’ve built exactly that. It’s a privilege to support clients both as an individual therapist and as part of a collective dedicated to holistic healing.
A Few of My Favorite Things:
I find joy in houseplants, gardening, and spending time outdoors—whether it’s riding my moped, lounging in a hammock, or soaking up the sunshine. I also love delicious food, comfy clothes, and quality time with my family, which includes my husband, two sons, and my elderly grandfather, whom we care for at home.
I’ll admit, I’m an avid audiobook collector with about 20 books in progress—it’s a work in progress, thanks to my ADHD!
A Fun or Unexpected Fact About Me:
Beyond therapy, I am deeply passionate about growth, leadership, and using our gifts for the greater good. Founding Integrate Therapy & Wellness Collective has been one of the greatest honors of my life. Leading a team of impactful therapists while supporting my own clients is a privilege I don’t take lightly.
A Little More About Me:
Through therapy, I aim to create a safe, compassionate space where clients feel empowered to explore their inner worlds, release old patterns, and move toward a more authentic and fulfilling life. It’s my belief that healing is a journey we take together, and I’m honored to walk alongside my clients every step of the way.

Founder and Therapist at Integrate Therapy & Wellness Collective
How Long I’ve Been Practicing:
I have been a social worker for 12 years, with the last 5 years focused on working in clinical settings to support individuals on their healing journeys.
My Areas of Expertise:
I specialize in helping adults work through anxiety, depression, insecurity, and codependency. One of my passions is helping clients unpack their internal dialogue, which is often rooted in early life attachments with primary caregivers. The narratives we tell ourselves—sometimes subconsciously—significantly impact how we feel and navigate each day.
I also work with adults navigating ADHD, helping them develop systems for success and reframing ADHD as a strength. As someone with ADHD myself, I understand both the challenges and the incredible potential of the ADHD brain. While it can bring moments of grief and frustration, I firmly believe it is one of our greatest assets when understood and nurtured.
I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR in therapy because these models align with my belief that our defense mechanisms and coping strategies often originate from a desire to protect ourselves from past pain. I enjoy helping clients explore these patterns and discover new ways to heal and grow.
