Emily provides psychotherapy and cognitive rehabilitation services, working with clients navigating a variety of mental health challenges and the social obstacles that accompany them. Her “growth mindset” approach to therapy aims to help clients find avenues for positive change in light of incredible challenges while holding the reality that healing is rarely linear. As a queer clinician, Emily believes it is especially important for those who are marginalized by society to have access to the mental health care they desire. We are pleased she brings this mindset to work with our neurologically marginalized clients at CCW. Emily is based at our downtown Chicago office, working under the supervision of Eleanor Mulshine, LCSW.
