Emily Kessler, LCSW
Your Well-Being Is In Good Hands
Perhaps you're down or anxious - maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery, and in my sessions I promote behavioral transformation by encouraging a positive outlook and the adoption of new attitudes and reactions. I have the tools and professional experience to help you get back on track.
Get to Know Me
I view psychotherapy as a relational experience; one that facilitates emotional and behavioral growth and supports a deep, connected relationship between therapist and client. I strive to help clients develop coping skills to reach their desired goals, as well as gain a deeper understanding of themselves. I understand that each client is unique, and approach each session with compassion, support and guidance to help facilitate change.
I utilize a psychodynamic approach with my clients, while also drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and psychoanalytic frameworks. I work with my clients to gain self-awareness as well as the understanding of the influence of the past on present behaviors and emotions. I have worked with adolescents and adults of all ages in clinic, school, hospital, and corporate settings in areas of anxiety, depression, relationship issues, workplace conflicts, chronic illness and life transitions.
I received my Master’s degree in Social Work from New York University and a Bachelor of Science in Family Science from the University of Maryland, College Park. I also have training from the Institute of Contemporary Psychotherapy and the NY Center for Counseling and Guidance Services along with a certificate in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy from New York University.
I look forward to working together to help you achieve your goals!
