Services + Fees

Individual Therapy For Children (age 12+), Adolescents And Adults

Psychotherapy and individual therapy sessions for children, adolescents and adults are weekly and approximatley 45-50 minutes in length. Emily works psychodynamically, not cognitive behaviorally. Her methods are a collaboration of unearthing conscious and unconscious patterns that are no longer adaptive, and understanding how the past informs the present. She works towards an understanding of how the mind functions and how behavior is formed. To note, many patients have found psychodynamic therapy effective when other modalities have failed.

$175/Session

Family Therapy

Family therapy sessions are weekly and approximately 60-90 minutes in length. Emily examines familial patterns and the dynamics between family members are identified and explored.

$250/Session
