About Me
My name is Dr. Amber Thornton. 

I am a Clinical Psychologist, wife, and mama to an amazing little boy.  I live in the DC area and LOVE it here!

In 2019, I took a big step forward in my career and launched Dr. Amber Thornton Consulting, LLC.  It was scary but something I've been sitting on that could no longer be held back.

While I provide a number of services through my consultation practice, Balanced Working Mama has become one of my greatest joys and passions.  

My mission is simple: to help working mothers balance work, motherhood, and wellness.  

​I want to completely change the narrative of what is possible for working mothers.  
I will no longer watch mothers sacrifice their health, joy, careers, or happiness for what society has taught us motherhood should be.   I am committed to rewriting the narrative of motherhood so that we all will have a better idea of what motherhood can be- full of joy, good health, time for yourself, passionate work and hobbies, connection to other mamas, and so much more. 

​I'm excited to connect with you!
