Emerson Black | LPC | they/he

Hey, I’m Em

You might be feeling disconnected from yourself or others, or carrying loneliness, guilt, or shame in your relationships. Many of my clients come in feeling stuck, trying to navigate anxiety, depression, people-pleasing, codependency, perfectionism, masking, and/or burnout. These struggles are common, especially for those who’ve experienced emotionally immature families, chronic illness, neurodivergence, major transitions, and/or trauma.

I work with young and new adults, LGBTQ+ folks (13+), parents of queer or trans kids, neurodivergent individuals, caregivers, and people living with chronic illness or disability. My clients often want to explore who they are beneath the pressure to perform, please, or push through. Together, we’ll create a safe space where you can untangle what’s painful or shameful from who you truly are. We’ll work together so you can begin to trust your needs, make authentic choices, and build a life that feels true to you.

If that sounds like the support you're seeking, reach out to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. Let’s see if we’re a good fit to begin your healing journey.
