Amber Bankson LMHC, SEP

Somatic therapist and coach in New York City and Westchester.

Welcome!

I’m Amber, and I want you to reconnect with your vitality.

You’ve done it all. You have it all. You’ve tried it all, and you’re feeling flat.

You should feel excited, you have what other people want, but you don’t.

You’ve bent yourself in ways you’re just now realizing to get where you are, but now what?

You’re afraid if you really listened to yourself, you’d be burnt out, you’d have to quit, or you’d have to burn your life down.

I’m here to tell you that:

  • It is possible to have a new and different experience.

  • It is possible to more fully exist in your work and your life.

And I look forward to walking this path with you.

  • 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.”
