About
Hello! I’m Amber Kovach, a licensed mental health counselor currently licensed in Florida, Maryland, and Ohio. I specialize in working with neurodivergent adults and individuals exploring how neurodivergence impacts their daily life, emotions, identity, and self-understanding.My clinical focus is outpatient therapy for clients who are looking for support with anxiety, burnout, executive functioning, self-compassion, life transitions, emotional regulation, masking, people-pleasing, and building routines that feel realistic and sustainable. I especially enjoy working with clients who are seeking a warm, collaborative, affirming space to better understand themselves and develop practical tools for everyday life. Most sessions will involve talk therapy approaches with a cognitive behavioral/client-centered approach.Please note that I may not be the best clinical fit for clients whose primary goals involve intensive trauma processing, active substance use treatment, eating disorder treatment, crisis support, marital or couples counseling, or needs that require a higher level of care. Clients seeking support in these areas would be better matched with a provider or program that specializes in those needs. I am also only available in the mornings, Monday through Thursdays, for therapy sessions (approximately 40-55 minutes in length).
I wanted to work at Prosper Health which specializes in working with autistic and neurodivergent clients because this work is meaningful to me both professionally and personally. As a neurodivergent clinician, I value creating a space where clients do not have to mask, over-explain, or prove their experiences in order to be understood. I have seen how often neurodivergent people are misunderstood, overlooked, or asked to fit into systems that were not designed with them in mind. My goal as a therapist is to provide affirming, compassionate therapy that helps clients better understand themselves, recognize their strengths, advocate for their needs, and build a life that feels more sustainable and aligned with who they are.
I try my best to bring an affirming and strengths-based approach to all of my sessions. I like to use the analogy of viewing therapy similarly to a collaborative road trip. Clients are in the driver’s seat (aka in control of your own goals, life, and what you bring into a session to focus on), and I am there as a passenger. A passenger usually helps with guiding, notices things as they arise from a different (clinical) perspective, explore possible routes to achieve goals, navigate obstacles, and build tools for the therapeutic journey ahead. I believe each person already carries strengths, insight, resilience, and lived experience that can be built upon in therapy. My role as a therapist is to help clients recognize what is already working, better understand what may be getting in the way, and develop strategies that feel realistic, supportive, and aligned with who they are and where they currently are.I strive to create a safe space where clients feel seen, respected, and affirmed without needing to mask, over-explain, or minimize their experiences. I especially value supporting neurodivergent clients in understanding themselves through a lens of compassion rather than shame, and in building a life that honors their needs, strengths, values, and capacity. I also use relatable examples, metaphors, and occasional appropriate self-disclosure when clinically helpful to support connection, understanding, and practical application.
