Great to meet you!

Hello there, my name is Emily Dunn, and I am an LPC based in San Antonio, TX. I utilize CBT, DBT, ACT, and EMDR to help you cope with a variety of life difficulties, including but not limited to trauma, grief, chronic pain and illness, and the aging process from youth to old age. I strive to be a culturally competent counselor, and specialize in working with populations across the gender and sexual spectrum, as well as neurodivergent individuals, and those with chronic pain, chronic illness, and disabilities.

My approach to therapy

I believe that the interaction between the mind and the body should be an important topic of focus in mental health counseling, and the interplay between these factors cannot be ignored. In addition to this, I believe it is also important to explore the ways that social and economic realities can stifle us from being our truest, fullest self. My goal as your therapist is to help you feel more at peace with your body, and to affirm and help you build confidence in your unique life experience.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, we will start by getting to know each other, and I will work with you to set goals for therapy and determine which therapeutic modality(s) are the best fit for you and these goals. We will also discuss your history with therapy, what you want in a therapist, and answer any questions you have about the process. I hope you will consider working with me, and I look forward to helping you in your mental health journey!
