Emily Samuelson

Emily Samuelson, PhD, understands that starting therapy can often feel daunting, requiring individuals to share their most private concerns with a stranger. However, through building a connection, she cultivates a therapy space that becomes a safe haven for exploring anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, and other challenges that prompt the search for support. Emily believes that therapy is a journey of exploring one's inner landscape, learning self-soothing techniques, developing self-compassion, untangling past difficulties, and empowering clients to make healthier choices. While she approaches serious topics with sensitivity, she also believes in the healing power of laughter, recognizing it as good medicine. With expertise in EMDR, she helps individuals resolve trauma, grief, painful childhood experiences, and unresolved conflicts. Emily's additional training in Internal Family Systems Therapy, interactive guided imagery, EFT/Tapping, and movement therapy enriches her eclectic therapeutic approach. Mindfulness plays a significant role in her practice, as she offers compassionate witnessing and an open heart throughout the therapeutic process. Clients who seek her guidance can trust that they will be met with empathy and support. Whomever they choose to work with, Emily wishes them the best on their healing journey, affirming that growth and change are not just possible, but within their reach, underscoring the sentiment that everyone is worth it.
