You desire a more fulfilling relationship or sex life. Maybe it is a challenge to directly express your needs and you get stuck in repeating arguments that go nowhere. Perhaps you struggle with loss of passion or experience sexual anxiety. You may wonder how you can ask your partner for better emotional support, appreciation, alone time or good sex. If you're an expat or immigrant, or if you're in an intercultural relationship, you may run up against cultural differences. If you're in a non-traditional or open relationship, maybe you find it a challenge to navigate different values and relationship styles.

Emily Fiorelli, LMSW specializes in supporting individuals who experience self-doubt, difficulty in relationships, anxiety, eating disorders and low self-esteem. Emily helps her clients to recognize and make the changes necessary to create a life they love. Through several years of clinical experience, Emily has found that therapy is most effective when grounded in understanding, collaboration, and motivation. She prioritizes creating a supportive environment in which individuals feel both safe and inspired to make powerful strides towards a more fulfilled self.

I believe that every human holds the innate capacity to heal, especially queer individuals whose lives are rooted in resilience. Through therapy, I highlight the potential of empowerment and strength in overcoming trauma and everyday challenges alike. I bring my research experience in body image and eating disorders among queer populations to frame my clinical work. My style can be described as active, warm, encouraging, and fun. While I incorporate elements of cognitive-behavioral, narrative, psychodynamic, and client-centered modalities, meeting with me will feel like a conversation with a warm, supportive friend.

You’re my ideal client! I want to meet you wherever you are & journey with you to where you want to go. Ever pass people who look impossibly high-functioning/put together - makes you feel like you'll never get there? So many look in a mirror & wonder who’s staring back & how they became who they are now.  To understand you, we first have to understand the story you’ve created from the beginning.  Letting others into dark corners of your life, where hurt hides, can be scary & painful.  But, it’s in those moments where healing happens. My role, in your journey, is to stand beside you, in the darker places, & help you turn on a light

Engaging in creative work, connecting with your partner, and deepening intimacy requires being in touch with your emotions. So it can be particularly challenging when you’re too anxious to get into character, too depressed to get out of bed, or too anxious for date night. All of a sudden, you find yourself feeling isolated, misunderstood, or like a painter working with frayed brushes. You deserve a space in therapy to work through life’s challenges. Sometimes, we get so wrapped up in the mind that it becomes difficult—or even painful—to slow down and notice what you're feeling both emotionally and in your body.

No topic is off limits in our sessions, and nothing is “too big” or “too small” to talk about. Whether you’re facing a new problem or an older one, I would love to be here for you to listen and to help. I’ve worked with many clients who are trying to explore and better understand who they are, to understand their relationships with friends and lovers, or who are grappling with major life changes like relocation, changing careers, or recovering from painful past experiences. I have specific expertise in working with POC and culturally diverse clients, exploring issues such as oppressive systems and separation from family.
