Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Hello! I’m Amber Klema, a clinician at our Bridgeport clinic who provides therapy services!

I work with teens through adults, and I have extensive experience supporting clients with behavioral disorders, chronic illness, and end-of-life challenges. Over the past several years, I’ve worked closely with chronically and terminally ill adults and seniors, and this has shaped my belief that therapy should feel safe, validating, and grounded in real-life skills. My therapeutic approach is rooted in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and an integrative blend of other modalities. I believe that meaningful change happens when we pair insight with practical skills.

If life feels heavy or overwhelming, you’re not alone. You don’t need everything figured out—just the willingness to show up, and I’ll meet you there. I help people stuck in patterns like anxiety, overthinking, emotional ups and downs, or feeling disconnected. My goal is for you to feel safe, understood, and supported.
