Emily Woody

Life is full of ups and downs, and I have learned from both personal and professional experience that 'suffering in silence' is not really sustainable or healthy for anyone. You deserve to feel heard and to function at your best level. I have 6 years' experience post-graduation from the University of Texas with helping folks do just that. From nonprofits, to medical clinics, to correctional facilities, to teletherapy, I have connected deeply and partnered with many clients and families to trudge through some of their darkest hours and find more validation, calmness, and acceptance. My fluency in Spanish has given me opportunities to break down walls and connect with hundreds of clients whose cultural background is different than mine. I would be honored to have the chance to see if working together is a good fit for your healing journey.

I have been described as "warm and approachable", but also able to challenge you, and that I have a natural ability to meet people where they're at by empathically "mirroring" emotions/moods. My therapy modalities include aspects of CBT, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, and always strive to be trauma-informed and client-centered. I work with all client populations ages 18+, and feel I am a great fit for people who identify as women, immigrants and first-gen, and LGBTQ+/ENM.

We will spend some time getting basic information down about you, what's going on, and your goals for what you want to get out of therapy. It is completely optional, but sometimes therapy "homework" such as journaling assignments will be part of the plan. We partner together on our plan moving forward, and you are at the center.
