Amber Bankson LMHC

Licensed neuropsychotherapist and coach in New York City and Westchester. Anxiety specialist.

Get to know me

Hi! My name is Amber. I’m a therapist and coach.

You are probably here because you feel anxious or stuck. You likely have some behaviors and thought patterns that you just want to “get rid” of.

My role is to support a shift in how you understand yourself. To help you connect to these “symptoms” not as problems but as messengers.

Your body is trying to communicate something very important to you. My job is to help you connect with its wise message.

Attuning to our physiology is how we move toward new choices and ultimately sustainable change. It’s how we start to finally feel anchored and empowered and available to exist more fully in our lives, our relationships and our work.

You need it, we all need it.  The world needs it.

I look forward to connecting.

  • Senior Finance Professional, Hedge Fund, New York City

    “Amber approaches her coaching work in a very thoughtful way. She challenges you in a way that feels productive and supportive, creating both short term and long term change. I highly recommend her as a coach.”

  • Senior Vice President, Non-Profit, Minneapolis

    “Amber is the perfect combination of an empathetic coach who also pushes you to see facets of your work and your leadership – both strengths and weaknesses – that you may otherwise miss. She also looked at the totality of the challenges in front of me – at work and at home as a mom of two kids under the age of 4, and this is something I deeply appreciated. She pushed me to be more courageous and move towards what I knew, based on my gut and on experience, were the right next steps in a complex situation. The thing that I appreciate most about Amber’s coaching is that it’s imminently practical and action-oriented – grounded in what you need at any given moment to get unstuck and make change.”

  • Vice President, Non-Profit, Washington DC

    “Amber is a masterfully skilled coach. In my work with her, she asked great questions that helped me understand my strengths, listen to my instincts and become aware of my own thinking patterns that were holding me back. I appreciate the ways in which our coaching work helped me get clear and gain courage in my leadership.”
