Tides Therapy and Consulting

My name is Amber Fender, and I'm the sole practitioner in my own private therapy practice. I grew up in a small town in South Carolina. I was terrified.

That was relatively uneventful. Instead of putting you to sleep, I'll start with the dramatic part. At 19 years old, I received a cancer diagnosis in my sophomore semester of undergraduate college while living away from home, two states away. This might surprise you, but it sucked. I found myself angry at God, my body, and my lack of "don't stop 'til you drop" pace keeping. For the first time in m

Check out my blog post for mamas!

Postpartum Care and Maternal Mental Health Unfortunately, today's modern society expects moms to "do it all." From navigating child-rearing and meal-planning to housekeeping and working, women have somehow become acclimated to obliging the juggling act. If you thought you were alone in the overwhelm until you watched the Barbie movie starrin...

What to Expect with a CBT Therapist 10/09/2023

Intro to CBT

What to Expect with a CBT Therapist What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy? Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) sounds a bit intimidating at first glance because when we draw attention to our behaviors, there's usually some problem that exists. We then find ourselves thinking of the word "behavior" as having a negative connotation, rathe...

How to Honor Yourself with Integrity

How to Honor Yourself with Integrity "Integrity is choosing courage over comfort; choosing what is right over what is fun, fast, or easy and choosing to practice our values rather than simply professing them." - Brene Brown Oh Brene Brown, you are so quotable! In our modern society of "life hacks" I believe we humans have lost free acc...

This quote by .vassilia is just 🤯

When we have been used to surviving with the bare minimum, any shift can feel too much, and too unsafe. It takes time for our bodies and our hearts to experience that it is safe to expand into our dignity.

Just like how we would not jump into the deep end of the pool when we first start swimming, but we start at the shallow end of the pool, the same logic applies when we “swim” in new relational spaces with others and ourselves. In order to protect our sense of safety, it is important to practice taking up space with people who could celebrate and encourage us to do so first, so that we can build our tolerance and stay the course.

Every step counts.
It builds towards the next.
A baby drinks milk, soft foods, before moving into harder foods.
Every step counts.
You are good.
