Emily Smith
Psychotherapist -
HI, I’M EMILY.My pronouns are she/her.
I’m a true-crime fanatic, water sport lover, sucker when it comes to most any animal but especially dogs, and I can bake a mean pie. Oh, I also swear like a sailor. So. There’s that. * shoulder shrug *
I like the bold, the sassy, the “too much to handle” type. My kind of young person is the kind of person who keeps it all together, because it feels utterly fu@ck!ng terrifying to imagine what would happen if it all fell apart. My clients feel absolutely stuck. They feel like that one unexpected pothole in the road can leave them feeling like the world has come crashing down. Like life is a never-ending uphill battle with obstacles at every turn.
I help my clients take control again. We work together to make you the driver of your own ship or whatever that phrase is. You need someone to listen without judgement and someone to tell you the truth. You need someone to help you pick yourself up when you can’t do it on your own and someone to cut the bullshit when life has already given you too much of that. I can be those things for you.
My work with young people is vast. From wilderness therapy, to transitional living programs, to residential treatment centers, online, in person, over the phone and on a muddy trail with rain pelting down on us both, I’ve helped a lot of young people get unstuck and do their healing work to succeed, struggle, discover their place in the world, and be who they want to be.
Let’s work together to do that for you, too.
