Hi everyone! My name is Emily, and I am an intern at The Healing Center. I graduated from Saint Xavier University in Chicago with a bachelor's degree in Psychology in 2023. I have always been drawn to psychology and have been curious about how individuals' minds work and how their experiences shape who they are.
As I continue to develop my counseling identity, I find myself gravitating toward Person-Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy. These approaches allow me to focus on each client's unique story while also exploring the deeper experiences and emotions that may influence how they see themselves and the world around them. I have experience working with concerns such as anxiety, trauma, self-harm, self-esteem, and life transitions. Through my internship, I have had meaningful opportunities to grow both personally and professionally while practicing the skills that shape the therapist I aspire to be. My goal is to create an empathetic, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to express themselves openly, explore their experiences, and work toward healing and personal growth.
I am currently n the final stages of my master's program in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am working toward earning my counseling license. I am excited to be nearing the completion of this journey and look forward to beginning my career as a professional counselor working with children, teenagers, and young adults.
