Emily Viola

Emily Viola is a compassionate therapist who understands that "there is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you,” as Maya Angelou wisely stated. She believes that being able to share one’s story and having it truly heard are essential components of the healing journey. With a decade of experience in behavioral health and a solid background in social work, she specializes in strengths-based, person-centered, and trauma-informed therapy. Emily is keenly aware of the environmental and systemic factors contributing to mental health challenges, including social justice issues like racism, sexism, and ableism. Each session is tailored to meet the unique needs, comfort levels, and developmental stages of her clients, whether they are individuals or children. Her therapeutic approach may incorporate various forms of expression such as talking, playing, drawing, writing, and singing, recognizing that play can be a powerful mode of communication and processing for children. Emily sees her clients as the experts on their own lives and is dedicated to providing the support and guidance necessary throughout the healing process. She eagerly anticipates the opportunity to work with individuals on their journeys toward wellness.
