When I first catch a glimpse of Amber she is gracefully navigating the crooked, but charming sidewalk bricks on King Street – in four-inch heels, maybe five. If it were me, one of my heels would be stuck in a crack and I’d be calling for help, but she glides over, making the walk look effortless...

Hi everyone! My name is Dr. Amber Mason and I’m excited to announce that I’ve launched my private practice and educational services company, Aptivate Educational and Psychological Solutions. As the Director and Licensed Clinical Psychologist, I oversee all aspects of the company and I provide psychological services to children and teens, work with parents, and consult and collaborate with colleagues. I have a wonderful team of professionals who provide educational and speech-language services.

I was hesitant to make this announcement given the recent loss of my grandmother and the stress and sorrow that led up to her passing. However, my grandmother was very proud of me and she was especially excited about my company and my mission to help our youth. I’m so blessed to have brought this dream to fruition, and I know she would have wanted me to share this with you all.

Our office is located in the heart of the DMV—Old Town Alexandria, VA. We currently have openings for many of our services. Please follow and like our page, check out the website, and share the news!
