Emily Dawes

My communication style

In sessions, I provide a calm, supportive, and non-judgmental space to process emotions and feel seen and understood. I have a very open and direct communication style valuing transparency. If we're processing through trauma or an emotionally challenging topic I will meet you where you're at and allow you to chose the pace that feels right.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always had an interest in psychology and human behavior coupled with a strong desire to help others. I became an LMFT with the belief that therapy is one of the strongest acts of self-care a person can choose and it has been an honor to walk along side my clients as they heal, grow, and reclaim parts of themselves they once thought lost.

My goals for you

My therapeutic approach is collaborative. Together, we will set goals that feel authentic and practical for you. Your goals may change over time as you gain new insights and make progress or as life circumstances change. We'll work together to make sure that your goals continue to feel like a good fit for you, no matter what stage you're in.

Our first session

Your first session is an opportunity for us to start to get to know one another and begin to establish goals for our work together. Starting therapy can be nerve-racking, we'll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. A first session is also a great opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the therapy process.
