Hello and welcome! Whether you are an individual looking for counseling or you are a couple interested in relationship counseling, I would love to help. I offer counseling to adolescents and adults on anxiety, depression, identity and self-esteem issues. My expertise is DBT - a therapeutic approach enhancing insight, which is particularly useful for people diagnosed with bipolar disorder and borderline personality. I also have an extensive background in working with children and families using the Nurtured Heart approach and I offer couples counseling using the Prepare Enrich method.

Emi provides individual and group therapy in the following areas: children, adolescents, families and adults, addressing the life issues of major loss, grief and trauma, anger, stress, crisis management, conflict resolution and negotiation, self-esteem and depression. She has many years of experience working in private practice, county mental health and working with the court system. Her practice of therapy is guided by the belief that no matter what happened, all persons have the ability to show resilience, to gather strength, and to learn new skills in order to improve their quality of life.

I am a compassionate humanist firmly grounded in science and research. I don’t judge, condemn, or rate anyone. Instead, I unconditionally accept all people and encourage them to find new ways to approach life with a minimum of fear and turmoil. I studied Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with its developer, Dr. Albert Ellis, with whom I have written 3 books and numerous articles. My work includes authoring 6 books, 7 chapters, and 20 journal articles. I am a Professor in NYU’s MA psychology program and an examiner for psychologists seeking board certification. But foremost, I am a clinician who understands emotional pain.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with a background in eating disorders, anxiety and depression. I am very familiar with psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavioral therapies. I have worked with clients of all ages and backgrounds. I believe that we all have the capacity to gain strength from and overcome our struggles.
