Amelia Flower

Amelia Flower earned her master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University in 2014 and brings 10 years of clinical experience to her work. She is licensed to practice mental health counseling in Florida and serves as a qualified supervisor for registered counselor interns. In addition, she is a Certified Correctional Healthcare Professional and holds formal training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness-based approaches.

Amelia currently works as a Licensed Mental Health Specialty Coordinator within the county jail system, where her primary background is supporting adult offenders in a correctional setting. Her clinical experience includes working with suicidality and self-harm, psychosis, conflict and anger, depression and anxiety, homelessness, substance use concerns, trauma, and personality-related symptoms. She also conducts risk assessments to evaluate whether criteria are met for involuntary psychiatric treatment.

Her professional approach integrates motivational interviewing to build rapport, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness skills, grounding techniques for those experiencing acute distress, and cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify triggers and develop effective coping strategies for depression and anxiety. Working in a jail environment also enables her to provide conflict-resolution and anger-management counseling, along with medication education for individuals presenting with psychosis.

On a personal level, Amelia emphasizes empathy, compassion, and a nonjudgmental atmosphere while maintaining ethical standards and healthy boundaries. She favors a client-centered style that lets people move through therapy at their own pace while she helps connect past experiences to current behaviors. She also incorporates existential ideas focused on goal-setting and creating a practical road map toward a healthier, more fulfilling future. Amelia often reminds clients that everyone has a purpose and cites the quote, “Feel the fear and do it anyway.”
