I have specialized training in Internal Family Systems, Christian Counseling (if requested), and Mindfulness approaches.
Trauma, a difficult childhood, deep loss—they leave a mark. We’d all love to believe that what happened “back then” doesn’t have to affect us in the “here & now.” But they do. Painful experiences change how we feel about ourselves, our relationships, and how we view the world. We want to move on but we're stuck. No matter how hard we try to push the pain back or down or away... it leaks back in and we find ourselves living in the same old pain with the same old problems: Stuck. Exhausted. Frustrated.

Relationships impact every aspect of our lives. It is especially problematic when the relationship with your spouse or partner is losing hope, joy, and satisfaction. Perhaps the distress is due to communication, betrayal, lack of care, expectations, or other relational issue. If you are experiencing disconnect and pain within your primary relationship, reach out. You do not have to walk through this type of distress alone.

Do you find yourself dwelling on the past or worrying about the future? Are you feeling emotionally or mentally disconnected with yourself or in your relationships? Or maybe (if you're really being honest) there's a gap between what you know to be true about your Christian faith and what you actually believe in your heart? Stress and trauma can leave us feeling disconnected in so many ways. As a Christian therapist specializing in trauma, I help clients understand the deep impacts of trauma, while also supporting them in rebuilding a healthy connection with their body, soul, and spirit.

My name is Emily Stephenson and I enjoy working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, and eating disorders. I bring a tailored approach to my clients and value my client's honesty and vulnerability in our sessions together. I find that vulnerability, although scary, is a key component to healing which I why I attempt to create a safe, inviting, and warm atmosphere in my therapy sessions. It is important to me that you feel as comfortable as you can during our time together so that we can move you closer toward your mental health goals.

My journey to becoming a therapist started after returning home from a combat deployment, experiencing a devastating divorce and years of readjustment difficulties. During these deeply personal experiences, I became aware of the hurt and the brokenness we all face and now have a deep desire to help others to overcome as I did. I am passionate about helping couples find reconciliation and negotiating relationship pitfalls. As well as working with clients to heal from past trauma, manage their anxiety/depression, regulate anger or learn to value themselves again. You don't have to face it alone, there is hope.

My focus might be short term counseling or longer term in-depth psychotherapy, depending on the needs of the client. In all cases, the client-therapist or counselor relationship quality is critical to real sustainable change. This relationship quality is created through empathy, genuiness and respect for the client and a genuine desire on my part to understand. When people feel known accurately and respected, that intangible magic begins to happen which leads to healing. Truth and love are definitely a part of that which leads us directly into the spiritual realm. Individual and couples therapy are my specialties.

I have a passion for helping people re-experience themselves. Sometimes it is necessary to share your story with someone who can be objective and give you an alternative perspective. Life comes with many struggles, and there are times when managing them can seem difficult. We imagine our feelings as chains that hold us down. The energy we once had to live and love, no longer seems available. When we walk in shame and fear we give others our power and become powerless. We often fall into old patterns that don’t work for us any longer. We can feel stuck.

I am a Licensed Psychologist who provides therapy and psychological assessment/testing. In therapy, I use a variety of techniques that I tailor to the client and the issue being treated. However, research shows that the quality of the therapeutic relationship, not the technique used, has more to do with successful outcomes. This is why I prioritize establishing and maintaining a healthy connection and trust. I am passionate about treating veterans and first responders (and their families), those with trauma, OCD, anxiety, and depression. Regardless of the issue, I try to help clients find more meaning and connection in their life.

I work with people who are tired of being stuck in their negative thoughts and behaviors and are ready to discover their God-given purpose and start doing it without the use of alcohol or other self-sabotaging behaviors. (it may even be an addiction to food) I specialize in empowering clients to live a spirit-filled life free from addiction. I enjoy doing private retreats with women to help them get unstuck from their life challenges and move forward to a better life.
