Welcome to my practice! You inspire me! It takes a great deal of courage to reach out and ask for help and I admire that! Sometimes our expected life path shifts and it can feel extremely overwhelming to find our footing and get back on track to living the life we deserve. My blended therapeutic approach of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness can help you do just that. I strongly believe that in order to make meaningful changes in our lives, we have to get to the core beliefs (both about the self and about the world we live in) that are driving our behaviors.

I work with individuals across the lifespan—from children and teens to adults and parents—who are navigating emotional regulation, behavioral needs, parenting, neurodivergence, relationship challenges, life transitions, or family dynamics. My clients often seek support for ADHD, anxiety, depression, or the impact of trauma, and want tools that respect their unique wiring and lived experience. Whether we’re building insight, skills, or stronger relationships, my focus is on creating a space that is collaborative, supportive, and meaningful.

When you are hurting you need someone to talk to who will help you figure out what to do. There are always changes we can make to be less miserable. I particularly enjoy working with couples having marital problems, with teenagers, and with people dealing with grief and loss.

One of the things life has taught me is to not believe everything you think because our mind can really play tricks on us. There is hope even when you think there is none. There are solutions even when you cannot see them, because you have more power than you know.

My name is Emily Hand, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based therapy that is particularly effective for trauma. With 10 years of experience, I work with adults and have a diverse background of experience with trauma, addiction, compulsive behaviors, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and relationship problems.
