Emily Rowe (she/her)

I values the healing power of a therapeutic relationship that is founded in authenticity. My approach is individualized with a client centered approach that matches presenting needs with the appropriate therapy (cognitive behavioral therapy, emotion focused therapy, narrative therapy, etc.). The therapeutic alliance helps uncover relational concerns, attachment issues, and explores the client's most important relationships to help practice appropriate boundaries and effective communication.

Specializing in couples therapy (Level 2 Gottman Trained), I provide a safe, supportive atmosphere for couples to work through their conflicts together. We work together on practicing effective communication, improving conflict patterns, rebuilding trust, increasing intimacy, and co-parenting. I also enjoy helping premarital couples learn & practice relationship skills that will set them up for a healthy and fulfilling relationship.

Specializing with pre-teen/adolescent clients, I provide a non-judgmental, confidential space for teens while still partnering with parents to empower them to support their teen at home (Level 1 Synergetic Play Therapy Trained). I use talk, games, art, and a variety of activities that help teens communicate in a way that feels most natural to them.

As a Level 2 Trained Gottman therapist, I have the skill set to help couples understand their patterns of conflict, practice new styles of communication, and notice their triggers/body reactions to challenges. The Gottman method allows the couple to practice, in session, how to best communicate to one another, with the therapist coaching best practices along the way.

How we think and feel impacts our behaviors, however we are not victims to those feelings and thoughts. Through understanding, noticing, and practicing different thought patterns, I help clients take control back of their emotions and behaviors. Many clients find themselves feeling empowered through this evidenced-based modality, and they notice a reduction in their symptoms as they begin to practice noticing, naming, and exploring their thoughts and feelings.

Mindfulness is the beginning of non-judgmentally noticing thoughts and emotions. It also provides a way of being present in one's own life. Through mindfulness based therapy, I help clients begin the practice of being mindful in their lives. Many times, this allows clients to step back from extremely painful, or uncomfortable emotions, so that they can begin to understand the purpose of those feelings and decide what to do with them. Mindfulness empowers clients to truly live and thrive.
