You don’t have to figure it all out alone. Therapy can be a place to pause, breathe, and begin to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface — not just to manage the symptoms, but to explore the deeper “whys” that keep you stuck in old patterns. Together, we can untangle what’s no longer serving you and build new ways of being that feel more connected, more honest, and more sustainable. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in both insight and practicality. I integrate cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness frameworks— always centering on your lived experience, your strengths, and your goals. I bring humor and realness into the room, and I welcome all parts of you — even the ones you’ve been told are “too much". I specialize in working with people navigating life transitions, anxiety, identity shifts, and long-standing patterns shaped by family of origin experiences. I value diversity and strive to create a safe space for individuals from all backgrounds. Email (emily@emilylicsw.com) is the fastest way to connect, I look forward to getting to know you.
