Emily Blackman, LMFT
Psychotherapist - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #112990
I hold the therapeutic relationship as sacred, a safe space for self-exploration and self-discovery. I feel passionate about this work, in being a witness and guide, as my clients sort through life’s many challenges and major life decisions. Throughout this process I intend to create a nourishing and non-judgmental atmosphere of acceptance, laying the foundation for growth and healing.
I have a Master’s Degree in Integral Counseling Psychology. My approach is truly holistic and eclectic, incorporating body-based methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gestalt, and Mindfulness. My style is gentle and allowing – whatever issues you are dealing with, I’m confident we can handle them together and move in a direction toward lasting change. You don’t have to do it alone.
I work with couples and individuals of all ages (children, teens, and adults).
Some areas of focus:
– Career Transitions
– Relationship Difficulties
– Anxiety and Depression
– Body Image and Eating Concerns
– Creativity and Empowerment
– Sexuality
– Childhood Trauma
– Fears and Phobias
– Alcohol and Substance Use
– Searching for Meaning and Purpose
– Self-Esteem
The decision to begin therapy can be life-changing and takes great courage. If you feel drawn to work with me, please call my confidential voicemail number: 415-843-1303 or email: therapywithemily@gmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you.
“Your task is not to seek love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” – Rumi
