About Emily DeFelice
Hi there! As a therapist, I strive to create a safe therapeutic space rooted in trust, collaboration, authenticity, and even a bit of fun (yes, therapy can be fun). I work with individuals, couples, and families facing a wide range of challenges. My clinical passion lies in helping individuals navigate relational challenges, life transitions, anxiety, and trauma. I provide clients with education and skills that they can implement into their lives such as conflict resolution, communication, assertiveness, and coping skills.
I have an eclectic therapeutic style and tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each client. I want to meet you where you are, allowing you to set the tone, direction, and pace of our sessions. With a background in professional yoga, I often integrate mindfulness, movement, and breathwork into therapy. Our bodies carry our emotions, and by attuning to them, we can feel, nurture, and release what’s held. This embodied awareness opens the door to deeper healing, connection, and transformation.
My commitment to you is to take the time to truly understand who you are, your strengths, and the resources you have to heal. Together, we will explore your goals and develop a plan to help you achieve them.
