Emily Hamilton LCSW

I have 15+ years of experience working with eating disorders and worked at an eating disorder treatment center for 10 years before entering private practice. I treat clients with Anorexia, Bulimia, BED, and eating disorders that don't fit into those categories (OSFED). I treat ARFID and often have clients with ADHD or Autism with concurrent EDs. I am also proficient in helping clients heal from disordered eating as well as disordered self-image and body image.

I have 15+ years of experience specializing in treating anxiety and panic disorders. I frequently use grounding and self-soothing skills to offer to clients with anxiety and challenge critical thoughts or negative schema that instill anxiety, worry, and fear in clients. I also usually work closely with psychiatrists to manage more severe cases that may benefit from medication.

I have 15+ years of experience specializing in treating depression. I frequently use a combination of CBT and behavioral interventions to challenge negative thoughts and start to change negative behaviors or routines that are keeping clients stuck. I also usually work closely with psychiatrists to manage more severe cases that may benefit from medication.

I have specific training in CPT for the past 5 years and use it integrated into trauma based therapy. I find it extremely helpful in using for clients who have experienced trauma they don't necessarily want to relive/retell since it is more focused on how the traumatic event changed the client's worldview and then being able to challenge that slowly to get the client to heal their relationship with trust and safety both externally and within themself.

I have been practicing CBT for around 15 years now and have found it extremely helpful in treating most clients but specifically clients with depression and anxiety. I find that figuring out client's negative core beliefs and being able to start challenging them is extremely helpful to getting better and being able to develop skills for emotional regulation.

I have been practicing DBT for around 15 years now and find it particularly helpful in treating most clients struggling with personality disorders. I find the skills of emotional regulation and distress tolerance very helpful for most clients I see and I discuss mindfulness based practices with almost every client I see.
