Emily Gerra

I have been a therapist for 12 years, and I work to create non-judgmental, supportive partnerships with my clients. I am particularly passionate about helping adolescents and young adults. My primary focus has been providing therapy, advocacy, and support to youth and families. I specialize in working with adolescents/young adults who rely on substance use and other maladaptive coping skills to manage their moods.

I take a holistic approach to therapy, emphasizing the importance of finding balance in life. This begins with building self-esteem and practicing effective self-care. My person-centered approach puts you in the driver's seat—we move at your pace, ensuring that therapy always feels supportive and comfortable for you. We are a team collaborating to reach your goals, but I encourage family involvement if possible.

Coping with life's stressors while forming your identity can be challenging as a teenager or young adult. I feel honored to be part of your support team as you transition into adulthood. I am here to advocate for you and help you identify and achieve your goals. It's important to me that I hear your story and support you in living a more satisfying life.
