My name is Emily Hand, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based therapy that is particularly effective for trauma. With 8 years of experience, I work with adults and have a diverse background of experience with trauma, addiction, compulsive behaviors, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and relationship problems. I’m passionate about this work, because when we internalize pain we often believe there’s something wrong with us, but what I’ve found is that it’s not about who you are, but what has happened to you — and the ripple effects that follow.
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 14 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families.

My practice is centered on providing a space where clients feel truly seen, supported, and equipped to show up more fully for themselves and those they love. I also welcome clients who want to explore faith as part of their journey.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC-MHSP) with more than 15 years of experience in the behavioral health field. My career began in residential treatment in 2010, and I have since worked in residential, community-based, school-based, juvenile justice, and outpatient settings. Since 2018, I have provided counseling services to adolescents and their families, and since 2024, I have worked with adults facing a variety of mental health concerns.
I specialize in helping adolescents, adults, and families navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, behavioral concerns, and difficulties related to school, work, and family dynamics. I also have extensive experience supporting youth and families involved with Juvenile Justice and the Department of Children's Services.
My therapeutic approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), family therapy, and other interventions tailored to each client's unique needs and goals.
I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe, heard, and supported. Whether you are a teen struggling with anxiety, a family facing communication challenges, or an adult navigating stress, trauma, depression, relationship concerns, or life transitions, I will work alongside you to identify goals, build on your strengths, and develop practical skills for lasting change.
My goal is to help clients gain insight, build resilience, and move forward with greater confidence and hope. I would be honored to support you on your journey toward healing and personal growth.
