Emily Hansen

My communication style

I have a soft, calm approach and pride myself on being an empathetic listener. I create an environment where clients feel comfortable sharing anything without judgement. Even when challenging clients to try new things or view situations differently, it is done with empathy and care.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist started in my third grade classroom. I absolutely loved teaching but found myself wanting more. I was drawn to emotional connections and helping students and staff during difficult times. Because of that, I earned my degree in Counseling. I still love being a school counselor and a therapist.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is always a collaborative approach. This will occur naturally as we get to know one another and discuss what we both feel will be the most beneficial for healthy emotional growth.

Our first session

The first session focuses on building rapport and trust. I will listen attentively and ask questions to understand you and why you are seeking help. First sessions can be nerve-wracking but I will help ease anxious feelings. We will then work together to make a plan for your therapy.
