About Emma Blough
When emotions hit fast and hard, it can feel like there’s no space between the feeling and the reaction. Relationships get strained. Decisions get made in the heat of the moment. And afterward comes the shame.
Hi, I’m Emma Blough. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor at Ellie in Hales Corners, and I work with teens and adults who want real, learnable skills for handling big emotions. I also work with parents, through coaching and skills groups, because supporting the people around you makes a difference.
My specialty is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and I don’t just borrow from it. I’m trained in fully adherent DBT, which means individual sessions, skills groups, and a clear structure you can count on. Sessions are warm but purposeful. You’ll leave with something to practice.
Reaching out for counseling takes courage, and I don’t take that lightly. My job is to make the first step feel safe and to make sure you feel understood before we ask anything of you.
Alongside DBT I use Radically Open DBT, CBT, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work, always shaped to what you need rather than a script.
If you’re ready to build a different relationship with your emotions, I’d be glad to work with you.
