Amber Biello-Taylor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and a Certified Addition Professional with over a decade of experience helping individuals heal, grow, and thrive. Renowned for her ability to build deep, meaningful connections with clients, she brings a compassionate yet results-driven approach to therapy.
Amber specializes in helping individuals heal from childhood trauma, sexual abuse, physical violence, and the unique challenges of blended family dynamics. She also supports clients in overcoming a wide range of struggles, including substance abuse, anxiety, depression, anger, isolation, legal issues, relationship conflicts, financial and occupational stress, and burnout. With a diverse background, she has worked with active duty and retired military personnel, young professionals, and individuals from all walks of life, providing compassionate, results-driven care tailored to each person’s journey.
With certifications in addictions and training in EMDR therapy, Amber integrates a holistic, mindfulness-based, and trauma-informed approach to counseling. What truly sets her apart is her belief that therapy is both an art and a science—a delicate balance of fostering deep connection, instilling hope, and guiding clients toward meaningful, lasting change. She masterfully integrates evidence-based practices, customizes treatment to fit each individual’s needs, and empowers clients to create transformation beyond the therapy room.
For Amber, three qualities define an exceptional counselor: flexibility, empathy, and advocacy. Flexibility allows her to meet clients where they are, adapting to their evolving needs. Empathy creates a safe, judgment-free space where healing can begin. And advocacy ensures that every client feels seen, heard, and supported—not just in therapy, but within the larger systems that impact their well-being.
Beyond her clinical work, Amber has been a mentor and consultant, guiding both emerging and seasoned clinicians in the field. She is deeply committed to reshaping the way mental health professionals cultivate their own resilience while providing the highest level of care to those they serve.

Whether through EMDR, neurofeedback, or mindfulness-based techniques, she is dedicated to ensuring that progress made in therapy extends far beyond the final session, creating a foundation for lasting healing and transformation.
“Life is a journey full of twists, turns, and unexpected detours—and no two paths are the same. I believe our experiences shape us, but they don’t have to define us. Through deep self-awareness, we unlock the power to grow, heal, and transform. As a compassionate and non-judgmental therapist, I am dedicated to creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to step into a life of purpose, peace, and resilience. My goal is to make this process as comfortable and enriching as possible. It would be a privilege to walk alongside you as you embark on your path to self-discovery and well-being.” - Amber
WHY COZY COUCH COUNSELING?
From an early age, I was captivated by psychology, counseling, and the profound impact of human connection. I remember watching movies where someone would lay on a therapist’s couch, pouring out their deepest fears and emotions. That couch fascinated me—why did people feel safe enough to share their most vulnerable thoughts with a stranger? Years later, after more than a decade in the counseling field, I explored the deeper meaning behind this seemingly simple piece of furniture.
The therapist’s couch has roots in the early 20th century when Sigmund Freud introduced psychoanalysis. He believed that the unconscious mind holds the key to our struggles and that true healing begins when we speak freely—without fear, without judgment. The couch became a symbol of comfort, a place where people could release their burdens and uncover deeper insights about themselves.
That sense of safety and openness is what I strive to create in my practice. I want every client to feel truly seen, heard, and understood. Therapy should be a space where you can explore your thoughts, untangle emotions, and rediscover your strength. This belief inspired the name of my practice, Cozy Couch Counseling—a place where healing begins in an atmosphere of warmth, support, and meaningful self-discovery.
