Welcome to Bigger Skies Mental Health
Meet Your Provider:
Amber Whitlatch is a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. She has over 20 years of experience providing care in diverse medical settings, including 15 years in the military. During her first master's degree in nursing, she trained as a crisis counselor and soon became a SAFE-EMDR therapist and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). Specializing in trauma, she soon realized that many illnesses can benefit from addressing the root cause.
After graduating from the University of Cincinnati, Amber completed a residency in geriatric psychiatry, eventually creating a dementia support program. Throughout her career, she has dedicated her efforts to various facets of mental health care, including teaching, peer review work for psychiatric research and published journals, and advancing access to treating trauma and mental health care.
Amber’s experiences and world travels, including various deployments with the U.S. Army, have illuminated the need for a more holistic approach to patient well-being. This realization drove her to establish her practice, where she could empower patients to heal as comprehensively and effectively as possible.
Amber is also a Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP), Certified Mental Health & Nutrition Clinical Specialist (CMNCS), and is currently pursuing her Integrative Psychiatry Certificate.
