Emily Kirkland-Schiller, LPC — Therapist in Wyoming

Hi there, I'm Emily!

I'm a kind, empathic, person-centered therapist who works to provide a warm environment where I can connect with you exactly where you are. I love working with people who have experienced trauma and grief and want to heal from difficult life experiences.

My focus

I have a passion for working with clients who have experienced trauma and want to reduce symptoms like PTSD, grief, anxiety, and depression.

My approach

I'm trained in EMDR and prefer to use this in my practice because I believe in the body-mind connection. EMDR helps your body and mind heal concurrently. I also draw from CBT, TF-CBT, MBCT, Motivational Interviewing, Multicultural therapy, person-centered therapy, and DBT to support your healing process.

My communication style

I provide a comfortable setting where you feel encouraged and supported in your healing journey. I also work to challenge you in a compassionate way to support your progress.

My journey to mental healthcare

I chose to become a therapist because I wanted to help people heal from emotional turmoil. I believe in resilience and that we can heal from things that affect us emotionally and regain healthy life balance. I grew up with complex trauma and know what it's like to live with emotional turmoil and how healing can have a positive ripple effect.

My goals for you

I believe it's important to have a clear, measurable goal to work on during therapy, as it helps structure what we focus on in sessions. This goal needs to be driven by what you want in your life.

Our first session

During our first session, I'll get to know you and start building our therapeutic relationship. I gather history information, discuss current symptoms, and explore what you want to work on. Together we'll create a treatment plan with measurable goals.
