Emily Salkever-Scott

My communication style

I seek to create a friendly rapport with my clients. I can be more directive with EMDR, EFT, and Tapping, as they are different styles of therapy. Mainly, I create a space that feels safe and comfortable. Sometimes it feels as if you are speaking with a friend, but when each session ends, you feel more in touch or aware of some part of yourself.

My journey to mental healthcare

I started in life as a teacher, where I realized that what I enjoyed most was working with children to help them feel better and work things out. After my children had grown up, I went into private practice. I have traveled and presented at mental health conferences on going beyond talk therapy.

My goals for you

I ask my clients what brings them to therapy and what they would like to achieve in each session. I might say, What is your intention for our session today? If they are not sure, we review recent goals and move forward from there.

Our first session

During the first session, there is a lot of information to gather. I will be asking questions about your experiences, and we will review some of the assessments that you completed before starting.

I identify as...
