Amber Lodeesen, LLMSW, Therapist, and Owner

Hi I’m Amber,

I am the therapist and owner at The Holistic Therapy Co. Before I get into all the good stuff that The Holistic Therapy Co. has to offer, I wanted to share a little bit about who I am & my mission.

Therapy reminds me of a safe place that holds up a mirror and asks, “What do you see?” It is a place to root yourself in whatever you may be experiencing internally or externally—zero judgment, zero shame. In fact, we learn to soften the edges that often box us in with our pain. We will build awareness and implement tools that challenge patterns and conditioning.

I am on a mission to support young adults and adults in navigating their interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships with themselves and others. I aim to work with individuals who are open and willing to engage in the transformative work required to integrate therapeutic insights into their daily lives. My focus lies in creating a safe space where clients can express their raw, genuine selves as they navigate their healing journeys.

Through my own experiences, I have come to understand how trauma is stored in the body, and I have learned to navigate the complex journey of reclaiming one’s sense of self and autonomy after immense loss and trauma. Our sessions will be a sacred space where we explore you through the lens of curiosity and compassion. Together, we will identify, feel, and direct our energy toward your desired goals. I vow to honor your unique expression of how you operate in this world and to demonstrate agility in my treatment approaches.

“ Helping yourself has to surpass the urges to choose otherwise. That’s when we start to put our power into the possibility of the unknown rather than the known.”

Education & Training

I hold a MSW degree from the University of Michigan and a BA degree from Grand Valley State University. My holistic approach to wellness integrates mind, body, and spirit, shaped by experiences in integrated medical centers, hospitals, private practices, and owning a wellness business focused on community-building among women. As a fitness and pilates instructor, I value movement as a form of healing. We know that trauma keeps score within our bodies which I have personally experienced and witnessed in others. My therapeutic approach combines a psychodynamic perspective with a somatic and energy work lens to enrich our sessions. With a degree in statistics, I deeply appreciate how evidence-based methods provide a solid foundation for achieving our goals with precision and clarity. I believe healing thrives in supportive communities, and I’m committed to creating spaces for growth, connection, and collaboration. At The Holistic Therapy Co., I blend my clinical expertise, energy work, and research to offer the best care for my clients.

My Services

I specialize in supporting individuals through challenges such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, life transitions, bereavement and loss, self-esteem struggles, and relationship difficulties.

I recognize that disorders are exactly that — disorder within the body, mind, and/or spirit. For some, acquiring a diagnosis can bring a sense of relief. For others, it can feel all-defining. For this, I am extremely mindful when diagnosing and assessing.

My Purpose

This is my beautiful mother, Laurie. She passed away in 2022, just a month after being diagnosed with stage four lung cancer. It was sudden, and it devastated my family and me. A few months before her death, I also experienced a miscarriage. For years, I was lost in grief, mourning both the loss of my mother and my baby. It is the wisdom of grief that transformed me and ignited an immense passion to continue enhancing my education and training to be able to support others on their wellness journeys. They are my north stars as they remind me daily how precious life is.
