My experience with Day One Therapy was excellent. Preceptor Amber introduced a multitude of skills for her clients. She individualized each session with specific techniques. As a preceptor, Amber was the best. She worked with me throughout my challenging schedule and was able to make time for me so that I got the experience I needed to complete this clinical. I would definitely recommend her services as a student or client.- Andrea Mumphrey Johnson

Amber Gonzalez has been an extraordinary preceptor and mentor in her role as a licensed professional counselor. She has provided invaluable guidance throughout my journey to become a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). Her deep understanding and passion for therapy, counseling, and psychotherapy have not only enlightened me on its pivotal role in our profession but, also on the essential collaboration needed amongst LPC and PMHNPs. Amber's insights into the importance of therapy and the collaborative nature of the mental health field have been fascinating. She has a unique ability to understand and express complex concepts with clarity, highlighting the importance of therapy in holistic patient care. Not only is she a great preceptor, but witnessing her dedication and commitment to her patients, have set a high standard for me as I develop my skills as a PMHNP. I am immensely grateful for Amber's mentorship. Her expertise, passion, and commitment have been instrumental in shaping my professional growth. - Victoria Surujlall-Buchan

Amber is amazing. I’ve had the opportunity to work with her as a student and my only regret is that I wish we had more time in the semester because I’ve learned so much. She’s grounded in knowledge and uses multiples techniques that are beneficial to all her clients as opposed to a one size fits all. She’s direct and honest but caring and compassionate at the same time. I will definitely be recommending her to those in need of therapy. - Merilee Mason
