Emily Ingraham

I have been practicing as a trauma therapist, trainer, and consultant for the last 12 years. For much of my career, I specialized in working with kids and families who have experienced complex and intergenerational trauma, and specifically focused on infant and early childhood mental health. I work frequently with conditions such as anxiety, depression, and complex PTSD, and provide support for individuals and couples of the LGBTQ+ community.

I hold a B.A. in Communications and Law from Manhattanville College and an M.S.W. from Boston College. I am also experienced in writing WPATH letters to allow both minors and adults to access gender affirming care.

As a queer therapist, I am dedicated to changing the stigma around mental health from “what is wrong with you” to “what happened to you”. I utilize frameworks and modalities that stem from neuroscience and attachment (such as Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, EMDR, Ecotherapy, and EFT), and I partner with each individual, couple, or family system from an anti-racist, anti-colonial, sex-positive, queer, and trans-affirming perspective. I have training in multiple different trauma modalities, and also bring aspects of narrative, sensory motor, and art into my work. No matter the issue or the age, I believe strongly in the need for play and joy in the healing process and work to bring these elements into all my sessions.

For our first session, we’ll take time to get to know one another and begin exploring the experiences that have shaped who you are today. We’ll discuss your history, the challenges you’ve faced, the strengths you’ve developed along the way, and what has brought you to therapy at this point in your life.

Together, we’ll begin creating a roadmap for treatment by identifying what feels most important to address and where you would like to begin. There’s no expectation to cover everything at once—we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable and meaningful for you. My goal is for you to leave our first session feeling heard, supported, and with a clearer sense of the direction we can take together.
