Hello! My name is Amberli Shupe and I am a nationally certified pre-licensed counselor at Tranquil JC! I am excited to work with clients who are children, ages 9 years and older into adulthood. I have a strong passion for working with kiddos and adolescents. I enjoy working with this group because of the opportunity to help younger people with figuring out who they are, understanding feelings and thoughts, and expressing who they are and their creativity while providing a safe space for them! I also enjoy helping adults with their mental health concerns, such as finding life/work balance, improving communication, navigating life transitions and learning how to be more present and grounded. I particularly specialize in seeing clients of all ages that are struggling with anxiety, panic disorders, depression, neurodivergence, concerns resulting from the way the world responds to the LGBTQ+ population and trauma.

I am currently able to take Cigna, Aetna, and have a sliding scale for private payments.

If you are interested in connecting with me, please reach out to 423-209-0172 or find us on our website at www.tranquiljc.com .

So thankful for Beau Bawab at Cognitive Pulse Marketing for this lovely spread for my team! The cookies are from Cakes By Angela Bowes @ cakesbyangelabowes and they ARE as delicious as they look (sometimes pretty sugar cookies like these are hard but the flavor and texture of these cookies are wonderful!) And the charcuterie board is from Taste and See Charcuterie.

Being an ally to the LGBTQ+ community goes far beyond rainbow flags and supportive social media posts. True allyship is about advocacy, empathy, education, and action.
