Emma Crissman

My communication style

I aim to provide a supportive environment while in session. My goal is to meet you where you are and join you to make sense of and give meaning to your experience. I value empathy and normalizing the human experience.

My journey to mental healthcare

What attracted me to becoming a therapist was learning about myself in a way that felt relieving, as if light bulbs were turning on and life made more sense. I wanted to share a similar experience with others, and that is how I started my journey.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting during the intake assessment. Throughout the assessment, I gain an understanding of what is going on with you. Towards the end, we clearly address your goals and what to work towards as we work together.

Our first session

You can expect to share about yourself by self-reflecting on behavioral patterns, emotional responses, and how you address your distress.
