Emily Pavlick (she/her)

I come from a client-centered approach where unconditional positive regard drives the work we will do. I’ve always believed that people are as different on the inside as they look on the outside and it is my job to connect with that special uniqueness to best support your growth. I approach therapy with compassion, warmth, a sense of humor, and without judgement. My goal is to provide a safe and comforting space for you to process any struggles, big and small, while learning to increase happiness and decrease pain. I work with adults age 18 and older using an eclectic mix of evidenced based treatments to help you identify, and have pride in, your strengths, as well as learn to have empathy and compassion for any weaknesses. I’m EMDR trained and certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and have experience using both the Gottman and Imago methods. I am committed to helping you get to the root of your problem so that change sticks!
