Emily Eppolite, LPC — Therapist in New Jersey

Hi there, I'm Emily!

I am a professional licensed counselor. I enjoy helping my clients to gain a deeper understanding their thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and experiences. I believe that by exploring and re-processing traumatic experiences, we can attain a greater level of control over our own behaviors and emotions.

My focus

I work with a wide range of clients. I work with both children and adults, though I adopt my approach to the client based on their age and level of developmental functioning.

My approach

I work primarily with cognitive behavioral talk therapy. I also incorporate, art therapy, role playing, narrative therapy, and guided meditation when the client is open to a more creative strategy.

My communication style

I am friendly and curious when interacting with clients. I use humor when the opportunity presents itself. I encourage my client to express themselves in an open and honest way, and give them non-judgmental constructive feedback when appropriate.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have the type of personality that attracts people to the mental health field. I am fascinated by the topic of human behavior, and have a genuine interest in understanding others more completely.

My goals for you

During their first session, clients will be asked to identify a specific goal that they would like to work toward during therapy sessions. In the following sessions, I will check back with clients periodically to see how much progress they have made on their stated goals. Sessions will focus on overcoming challenges related to stated goals.

Our first session

During their first session, clients will be invited to share their history and background, as well as, what brought them to therapy, and what they would like to get out of their therapeutic experience. Clients will be asked to identify a specific goal that they would like to work toward during therapy sessions.
