Emerson Rothwell (he/him)

LICSW

I am a queer and trans therapist who specializes in LGBTQIA2S+ and queer affirming counseling.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Massachusetts

About My Clients

The majority of my clients are non-binary, trans or gender expansive, and many are also neurodivergent.

My Background and Approach

I believe in the importance of self-acceptance and self-compassion. As a result, I bring my genuine self to session, so you can feel comfortable unmasking or being authentic in our work together. My goal is to create a safe, affirming space where you can be you and feel seen and heard. I enjoy incorporating geek culture into therapy sessions, and I will sometimes use metaphors or references to help you connect with your emotions and experiences in a way that is meaningful to you. *I am also able to provide gender affirming surgery/treatment support letters following an assessment.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a therapist of multiple lived experiences (multiracial, queer, trans and neurodivergent), I'm sensitive to the impact of intersectionality, power, and oppression on communities and individual experiences. I work through anti-racist, social justice, and trauma-informed lenses, and I strive to recognize and acknowledge the multiple layers of discrimination and privilege that can impact the way we move through the world.
