Emily McCoy

Hi, I'm Emily. I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Board Certified Art Therapist, which is a long way of saying I've spent years sitting with people in the middle of really complicated things, and I genuinely love this work. I've sat with a lot of people who came in frustrated. Not because they hadn't tried to feel better, but because nothing they tried had quite worked. That frustration makes sense. And it's not a sign that something is wrong with you. Most of the things people come to therapy for, whether that's anxiety, burnout, a constant sense of being on edge or checked out, didn't develop overnight. They make a lot more sense when we look at the full picture: the environments you've navigated, the ways your mind and body learned to adapt, the beliefs that quietly shaped how you move through the world. These patterns can start to feel like walls, but they usually began as something useful. The work I do is less about fixing and more about slowing down enough to actually see what's going on. Together, we'll start to notice what's pulling things tighter, what loosens them, and where there might be a little more room to move. Life has a way of getting tangled in knots that are hard to see clearly from the inside. But in my experience, it doesn't take force to begin loosening them. It takes curiosity, some creativity, and occasionally a bit of laughter. As things start to shift, most people find there's more room to breathe, and sometimes even to surprise themselves. If that sounds like what you've been looking for, I'd love to hear from you.
