Emily Schechter, LCSW

Welcome

With the complexity of being human, it’s normal to experience waves of feeling lost, confused, and anxious. Different seasons of life bring different challenges and can provoke questions such as: Am I content with my relationships? Am I going in the “right” direction? Am I happy and comfortable with myself? Is this the life I want to live? I believe you have the answers and wisdom inside you, and I am here as a guide to help you uncover them - whether you’re looking to address distress in your relationships, feelings of anxiety or depression, or older, deeper wounds. We’ll examine your life holistically, exploring unhelpful patterns, the connection between mind and body, your relationships, and your sense of self. I take a client-centered and collaborative approach to therapy, so we will work together to address your concerns.

About

I take a compassionate and collaborative approach to therapy, working with my clients to identify pain points and uncover their innate ability to heal. I am passionate about the full spectrum of the human experience, so we may explore areas such as your strengths, past traumas, present stressors, limiting beliefs, your somatic and body experiences, and others. My goal is to create a safe environment for you to explore the parts of your experience that may be holding you back from finding peace and fulfillment. By doing so, we can make space for greater awareness and wellbeing. This process may include approaches such as EMDR, IFS, psychodynamic therapy, and somatic therapy.
