Emily Myhre (She/Her)

I have spent my career working directly with individuals who have depressive symptoms. I have completed training and additional studies regarding the correlation between depression and physical medical health issues such as diabetes, chronic pain, or other illness.

I am trained in evidence based practices specific to addressing anxiety such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy. I have worked my entire career with clients who have experienced panic, fear, and disordered anxiety.

Both my graduate and undergraduate education held a concentration in grief and bereavement studies. I have worked directly with clients who were actively dying, as well as their families and communities. I have completed post-graduate training in the study of death, dying and bereavement, as well as in trauma, caregiver fatigue, and aging. I have worked directly with clients who have experienced trauma, as well as traumatic losses.

Family Systems is a core tenet of clinical social work practice, and training on this specialty was provided to me via graduate study, as well as through continued education and supervision. Family Systems is imperative to grief and loss therapy as the family needs to grow, develop, and adapt when a loss that has occurred.

Person Centered counseling is a core tenet of clinical social work practice, and training on this specialty was provided to me via graduate study, as well as through direct care experience with clients. I have provided education and training to medical physicians and their teams in a hospital setting to help improve patient outcomes as well as to improve doctor-patient relationships.

Existential Therapy is integral to grief work, and was part of both my undergraduate and graduate education. I received additional post-graduate continuing education on this type of psychotherapy, and utilize this in direct care practice in order to engage clients in discussions regarding their perception of life and death, and the fear or anxieties attached to these discussions.
