Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Emily! I love helping my clients identify their needs and goals, make changes in their lives, and feel like themselves again. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in PA and I've been practicing in the field for five years now. In my full time role, I serve college students in a campus counseling center and I have experience supporting teens and adults of all ages.

My approach to therapy

My clients describe my approach as warm, compassionate, and authentic. I believe in an individualized, supportive, and collaborative approach to care. In our fast paced world it's easy to become out of touch with our emotions and our bodies. In the therapy space I like to help clients sit with emotions and explore them, as well as apply skills and process at their own pace.

What you can expect from me

In a first session, I want to get to know you! What's going on in your world that brought you here? What would you like to see change? Where would you like to be? I also want to use this time to ensure that we're a good fit! Tell me about any previous therapy you've had; what works for you and what doesn't. We'll come up with a plan for next steps together.
