Emily Rickard

Hello and welcome to exploring therapy! Life often doesn't go as expected and we find ourselves, anxious, depressed, lonely, and perplexed. My goal is to get to know you efficiently and thoroughly, fostering insight that will lead to a healthier, more authentic way of living. I consider it an honor and a joy to partner with with my clients on this internal work that leads to external change.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Famiy Therapist (LMFT) and hold additional training including: EMDR, Ceritification in Enneagram Coaching, and a Professional Certificate in Addiction Counseling. I have worked with clients of many ages, genders, and ethnic backgrounds.

I believe in a whole-person approach that soothes the symptoms at present, explores the origins of issues in the past, and provides hope and motivation for the future.

I specialize in addressing trauma, anxiety, depression and PTSD using a unique method called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) which is designed to alleviate distress from traumatic memories, but also helps with a wide variety of problems. Our work will holistically address how your sympotms present in your body, emotions, thoughts, and behavior patterns.

My goal is for you to realign your mental, emotional, and physical self as I model compassionate curiosity for where you are and where you've been. I want you to be empowered to cope with your present and face your past; we will do whatever we can to address the root of your problems, making the life you want more accessible, and your future bright.
