Emily Bouldin

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 5 years of experience supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and complex stressors. I earned my Masters of Social Work from Columbia University and have worked in hospital and community-based settings, where I focus on meeting people where they are and helping them feel understood, not judged.

I believe therapy should feel collaborative and practical. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, build coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change in your day-to-day life.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each person. I draw from evidence-based practices like CBT, mindfulness, and strengths-based therapy, while also focusing on real-life tools you can actually use outside of sessions.

I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable being honest, while also gently challenging patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Together, we’ll work toward goals that feel realistic and meaningful to you.

I was drawn to social worker because I’ve always valued understanding people’s stories and being someone others can feel comfortable talking to.

Our first session will be a relaxed, structured conversation focused on understanding what’s bringing you to therapy and what you’d like to change. We’ll talk about what’s been challenging, what has or hasn’t worked for you in the past, and what you’re hoping to get out of therapy.

I may also incorporate a brief mindfulness or check-in exercise to help us slow down and identify what feels most important to focus on.

You can go at your own pace, and by the end, we’ll begin identifying goals and practical next steps so you leave with a clear sense of direction.
