Dr. Emel Erel

I am a bilingual, bi-cultural Psychologist with 15+ years of clinical experience in working with adults, adolescents (13 years old and up), families, and couples struggling with various emotional difficulties.

I am particularly interested and experienced in treating: Anxiety, Depression, Attachment Disorders, Perinatal Mood Disorders (Post-Partum Depression, Loss, Infertility) Marital/Relationship difficulties, Trauma, Self-Esteem & Mood Regulation, Immigration/Acculturation difficulties.

My aim is to initially build a trusting relationship with my patients and engage them in a collaborative work. I believe that gaining a better understanding of the impact of one's early, formative experiences and examining how the past can sometimes still be alive in the present can be transformative, and allow people make meaningful changes in their lives.

My goal is to help people feel encouraged and supported while I help them through their healing journey. I believe I am effective in developing strong working alliances with my patients so that therapy experience can lead to emotional growth and change. The process of building a unique relationship and creating a new experience together with my patients, making a change in their lives is what makes this work rewarding for me.
