Emily Faith (she/her)

I am dedicated to helping high achievers, people pleasers and creatives process trauma and reduce anxiety . My clients would say that they feel comfortable with me. That there is an ease and a challenge to the work that we do together. That I am creative, empathic, and flexible. I understand that the most effective therapy is built on the authentic, meaningful relationship that client and therapist co-create. Specializations and Interests: somatic and embodied approach to trauma healing through expressive arts therapies, artists and artistically inclined, walk and talk therapy, couples, high-achievers, therapy for therapists, medical trauma and hospitalizations, grief and loss. ​

I know all too well the feeling of wanting to start therapy, while also feeling skeptical if anything will actually change. This is why I maintain that capable, high-achieving humans require creative, expressive and non-traditional approaches to therapy. Insight and self-awareness are simply not enough. It is well documented that transformation occurs not through intellect, but through feeling. I am endlessly curious. I grew up in a military family system and have a two-decade career in the theatre arts. I have struggled with anxiety, ADHD and PTSD. I have a love/hate relationship with social media and dairy. I go on many walks with friends. I support local arts organizations. I'm progressive politically and believe that dismantling the historically oppressive and patriarchal systems of therapy is crucial as a therapist. I value having strong mentors, personal therapy, consultation groups and being a life-long learner.
