Hi, I'm Em. During times of unmitigated stress, problems and worries pile up, creating emotional and psychic loads that block personal growth and hamper well-being. Therapy can increase the quality of life by giving us the space to let go of old patterns that no longer serve us and replace them with healthier, more effective ways of coping and relating to the world.

Prior to becoming a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW), I attended Smith College School for Social Work, receiving my master's degree in clinical social work in 2019. I began working in community mental health in 2015 as a residential counselor. Since 2016, both as an intern and MSW/LCSW, I have been providing individual and family therapy, and case management, at community outpatient clinics, as well as at partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs.

Suicidal ideation, disordered eating, gender transition, psychosis, and complex PTSD are among the multitude of clinical need areas that I have assisted my clients in moving through. I've worked with clients across the age, ability, and economic spectrum, and helped individuals and families overcome hardships in the realms of work, relationships, school, and the like.

Using an integrative, collaborative, DBT-based approach, I aim to put clients back in the driver's seat of their own lives by supporting and facilitating deep inner work. I see the therapeutic relationship itself as a mode of healing. I use radical acceptance to meet each of my clients where they are at, where they have been, or where they might be headed in their life journey. Together, let's build a strong foundation and, hopefully, a safe harbor in which long-lasting change can flourish.

If you're ready to start this journey, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

How do we select providers listed on PsychHub.com?

The care options presented consist of treatment providers that we have assessed to be quality providers across a range of services for mental health, substance use, relationships, and other well-being needs. We aim to include only high quality providers and multiple viable options for those seeking care.

What is the relationship between Psych Hub and these providers?

The providers listed on our site are all independent entities from Psych Hub. We only list providers where we have a contractual relationship with a network, group, or practice that a provider is a part of, or where we have a direct contractual relationship with the provider. That contract governs the terms of participation on the Psych Hub site, and in some cases, as mentioned below, the provider’s, group’s, or network’s use of Psych Hub's educational content. There is no other affiliation between Psych Hub and the providers listed on our site.

Do participating providers pay us?

To make our site free for consumers, Psych Hub receives fees from provider groups, networks, or individual providers to connect with potential clients who are a fit for their services. Some also purchase Psych Hub's educational content for practitioner training and client support. These fees enable us to operate our service, including screening and updating information on each provider.

How do we determine which ones to display?

Rather than make specific provider recommendations, we present options and information so you can make an informed decision on what provider best fits your needs. Where we have multiple participating providers, we present multiple options (and where we don't, we prioritize adding more options to our site over time). We present providers whose capabilities, insurance coverage, availability and other attributes best match your stated needs. If many providers appear to equally meet your needs, we display a selection of them at random. Our decision on which participating providers to display is never impacted by the amount of fees we receive from them.

What causes us to remove providers from our site?

We require that providers meet all licensing requirements of states where they offer services. If a provider loses their license, they are removed from our site for that state or service. We also seek feedback from users on providers they find on our site. We investigate significant negative feedback and remove providers if we conclude that to be appropriate.
