Amber Baack, LCSW | In The Alpenglow LLC
Amber (she/her) was a part of the Fall 2023 Nurture cohort where we had the pleasure of witnessing her passion and creativity come together to inspire and grow her practice In The Alpenglow LLC. Amber’s passion for holding healing space for others, her warmth, and her genuine kind spirit is hard to miss when you are in her presence. With diverse experience and in depth training in trauma-informed modalities and nature-based therapy we know any client would be in the best hands with her on their healing journey.
Amber is a nature-based, experiential, mind-body therapist in Northern Colorado. She specializes in supporting adults, women, college, and graduate students with self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and transitions in life. Amber’s practice is called In The Alpenglow as she believes an alpenglow is a beautiful metaphor for therapy; holding darkness and light simultaneously. The majority of sessions that she offers are outdoors, in public parks and on trails, in the Denver Metro Area (Arvada, Wheat Ridge, Denver, Golden). Amber has an office located in Wheat Ridge where sessions are available indoors for inclement weather and if it best fits the needs of a client to meet indoors on any given day. In her work with clients, Amber centers on processing, in mind and body, mindfulness and grounding practices, experiential activities, and teaching tangible skills and tools.
As a therapist, Amber holds authenticity and curiosity as core values. She believes that clients already hold what they need inside of them and is primarily there as a support and guide in the process of discovery and healing. Amber is aware of her social location based on her identities, including white & cis-gender, and the privileges that they grant her. She is dedicated to approaching differences humbly and attentively and working towards dismantling oppressive and harmful systems, actions, beliefs, and narratives. Amber believes that our connection to other natural beings is essential to our well-being and the well-being of the Earth.
Amber can be reached by phone or email and she is happy to chat if you feel she could be a good fit for a client or want to learn more! She offers free phone consultations for clients before beginning the work together.
