Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Longmont, CO

I began my career as a Fulbright Scholar, conducting research on traditional medicine in Sochi, Russia. I presented my work at the United States Embassy in Moscow, highlighting cross-cultural perspectives in healthcare and integrative practice.

After completing my grant, I attended New York University (NYU). I then completed a residency at M.D. Anderson Hospital in Houston, Texas. I went on to earn my doctorate from the University of San Diego, California, where I focused on digital telehealth treatment for psychiatric care.

I am passionate about working with Veterans and individuals experiencing Depression, Anxiety, and Mood Disorders. In 2023, I completed CIIS training in psychedelic-assisted therapy. In 2025, I was among the first providers in Colorado and in the country to become licensed as a psilocybin facilitator.

Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy spending time outdoors, riding my horses, and being with my family. These activities help me stay grounded and connected to what matters most in life. I value balance, authenticity, and meaningful relationships, and I bring those same values into my work with clients. I strive to create a welcoming, supportive environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves and working toward their goals.

Do you find yourself constantly thinking, analyzing, or trying to make sense of everything? Maybe you replay conversations, anticipate every possible outcome, or search for the "right" answer before making a decision. You may understand yourself well on an intellectual level, yet still feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. I provide therapy for teens, young adults, adults, and educators—including teachers, school counselors, and other school staff—who are navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, difficult experiences, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the demands of daily life.

Hi, I’m Emily. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) specializing in relationships, family systems, substance use, and co-occurring mental health challenges. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, ADHD, identity exploration, grief, chronic illness, and end-of-life concerns.

Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by emotional ups and downs, struggling with relationship conflict, managing substance use concerns, or coping with co-occurring disorders like anxiety and depression alongside addiction. You may feel stuck in repeating family patterns, battling intrusive thoughts, experiencing mood instability, panic attacks, impulsivity, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others.

With experience in inpatient treatment settings and diverse cultural environments, I bring a deep appreciation for the complexity of the human experience. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and culturally responsive, and I approach each client with curiosity, compassion, and respect for their lived experience.

I specialize in supporting adolescents and young adults as they navigate the unique challenges of growing up, finding identity and new roles, and building resilience. Therapy with me is collaborative and supportive, and my approach is grounded in warmth, curiosity and genuine care for your story.

I provide an open space to talk about any issue on your mind. Together, we probe deeper into patterns that affect your life and find ways to overcome those obstacles to your goals. I've worked in a variety of settings as a social worker and seen all manner of struggles and lives. I strive to understand your experiences and form a partnership on your healing journey.
