About Amber Gonzalez, LPC

Trauma Therapist • Clinical Consultant • Author • Prevention Educator

Amber Gonzalez, LPC, is a nationally recognized trauma therapist and the creator of the DayOne Safety Series — a bestselling collection of child-safety education tools trusted by parents, schools, and professionals. She is licensed in New Jersey, Georgia, and Florida, with over 12 years of clinical experience supporting trauma survivors, couples, and families.

Across social media, Amber reaches 40,000+ parents on Instagram and 10,000+ followers on TikTok, with monthly impressions in the millions. Her signature opening line, “I’m a trauma therapist…”, has made her one of the most relatable voices in trauma education and child-safety prevention.

What I Do

I help families heal the things they don’t talk about — trauma, unsafe touch, betrayal, emotional wounds, and generational patterns that affect parenting and relationships.

My work focuses on:

  • Child body-safety education

  • Trauma recovery and prevention

  • Couples healing after infidelity

  • Emotional regulation and family dynamics

  • Clinical consulting for Black & Brown UHNW families

  • Psychoeducation for parents who grew up without safety or boundaries

What I’ve Created

  • The ABCs of Safe & Unsafe Touch (Book 1 & Book 2) — sold in 5+ countries

  • I Know What To Do! Workbook — trauma-informed safety practice

  • The ABCs of “It Happened to Me” — healing after unsafe touch

  • The ABCs of What To Do If… (coming soon)

The ABCs of Safe Touch with Amber (YouTube Series)

A weekly educational series helping parents teach safety in a simple, confident way.

A Personal Message from Me

“I believe prevention starts at home, healing starts with honesty, and every child deserves to feel safe — from Day One.”

Let’s see if we’re a good fit.

When “just talking about it” isn’t working anymore…

A lot of my clients come to me after seeing several therapists — and feeling more judged than helped.
They’re tired of repeating their story, tired of surface-level advice, and ready for real change.

I’m not here to waste your time. I’m here to help you heal.

At DayOne Therapy®, I use evidence-based approaches like Trauma-Focused CBT and DBT to help you get unstuck — fast.
No fluff. No judgment. Just tools that work, honesty that heals, and results that help you get your life back.

If you’re ready for a therapist who gets straight to the point so you can get back to living —
Let’s start from Day One.
