Emily Tran

My communication style

I am gentle in my communication and patient in developing a relationship with you. I enjoy listening to your stories and hearing about what you've experienced that you would like support with. Throughout our time together, I will bring up connecting threads in your life, point out areas of growth, and honor the positive changes that unfold.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was raised in an immigrant household where deliciously made food was how my mother conveyed her love. I spent time profoundly unaware that my upbringing as the eldest child in an emotionally restricted environment would manifest as relational trauma. My way through centered on holistic approaches, talk therapy, and somatic techniques.

My goals for you

I help you reach your goals through a combination of traditional talk therapy and in-depth, process-oriented, relational connections. The most important thing to me is that you feel safe, comfortable, and heard. I encourage you to be more aware of your body as you speak about your past memories and notice how you feel throughout the week.

Our first session

I typically ask you to share the top three things you would like help in resolving. From there, I will weave in more questions to get a sense of how your problems affect other areas of your life. We will chat for the first half, then transition to required assessments and go over potential diagnoses and goals.
