Amber Pilkington is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Supervisor and Certified Anger Resolution Therapist. She received her Masters of Psychology from the University of Dallas in 2008. Additionally, she graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of St. Thomas Honors Program in 2005 with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Catholic studies with minors in Theology and Philosophy. She sees counseling as her vocation and mission rather than her 'career'. 

She has worked for a year as a Mental Health Counselor at Menninger Specialty Psychiatric Hospital in Houston, Texas, a world renown psychiatric hospital. She has also worked  for Immaculate Conception Church in Denton, Texas as a counseling intern. She moved to San Antonio to found Dignity Women's Center with her husband, Steven Pilkington, MD to provide women and families of central Texas with authentic, holistic healthcare options that honors their personal faith and values.

She has published an article and book review in The Humanistic Psychologist, an American Psychological Association journal. Her workbook and talk, Women, Food, and Christ is the first ever guide to addressing women's issues with food and body image through the lens of St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body and is endorsed by Christopher West and Sr. Paula Jean Miller, FSE, STL, STD. It was a labor of love born out of her own experience with an eating disorder. She has been in personal recovery for over 21 years. 

She also works closely with marriage ministries like The Alexander House, spiritual directors, and physicians to create a treatment team for her clients. In addition to being a clinician, Amber speaks nationally to women's conferences, clergy, and universities on topics relating to the integration of spirituality and psychology.


Amber Pilkington has vast experience in integrating insights from neuroscience, psychology, and spirituality. She provides a warm, non-judgmental environment for exploring all areas of your life. She is particularly skilled in treating marriages, infidelity recovery, mood disorders such as anxiety and depression, ADHD, grief and trauma.

She believes that vulnerability and courage lead to the kinds of creative changes that can improve life and make meaning. She is a recovering perfectionist, an INJF and has a passion for learning, reading, the healing power of journaling, creative expression, and medieval British history. She confesses a slight office & art supply addiction, loves pens in all colors, will never give up good old fashioned paper planning, can't resist buying beautiful blank journals, dreams of visiting Peru to pet a real live llama, looks forward to her nightly patio visit from the adorable raccoon that lives somewhere in the Pilkington backyard, and is an aspiring artist (in her "
free time"). 

"My most important job in life is wife and mother to a beautiful family that God has given us! My education in attachment theory and psychology - hopefully - makes me the best mom and wife I can be!"
