Amber Collins
Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor,BS
I have worked in the substance use field for over 8 years. I will obtain my Masters of Edu. in Counseling and Human Development from Lindsey Wilson College in December. My passion is helping individuals suffering from substance use disorder, trauma, and related (often co-occurring) issues. I have devoted my career to advocating for the removal of treatment barriers, dispelling stigmas, and providing high quality, evidence-based interventions such as Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a Reality Therapy clinical orientation. My ultimate goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment that allows clients to be their authentic selves and offer support as they begin their journey to recovery.
