EMILY GREER

Hi friends! I’m Emily, a passionate cat mom to a spicy Tortoise shell, a heels dancer, and someone who will try every crafty hobby and then immediately forget about it. When I am not a therapist, I often spend my time playing cozy games, soaking up the sun, and watching any form of hockey (including Heated Rivalry). 

As someone who has experienced anxiety and depression, and tried to navigate this mental health system, I am incredibly passionate about care that involves validation and empathy. I will never be the person to tell you to just be happy. I often swear in session and like to joke, while also being able to be serious and leave space for the heavy emotions we experience. I often come from a place of acceptance and work to build awareness around our experiences, how they function, and how we can change our relationship to these sticky things. 

Sessions with me can be a mix of ranting about the world, exploring goals and next steps, and building compassion towards ourselves during every step of the way. At the end of the day, we are all humans trying to navigate this screwed up world and I am happy to be a part of your journey; whatever it may look like.
