About Laleh Emami
Have you ever felt that starting the therapy process is frightening but needed? Does the idea of sharing past traumas and confronting what has happened to you seem impossible? If so, you have come to the right place! Hi, I’m Laleh.
I bring over a decade of experience supporting individuals through life’s most challenging moments. My background includes working in various roles within Community Mental Health Centers around the Kansas City area, serving diverse populations and a wide range of concerns. I work with individuals 18 and older using a trauma-informed, person-centered, and strengths-based approach.
My focus is on building trust and safety in the therapy room while helping clients connect with their own capacity for growth and healing. I utilize CBT, EMDR and other trauma based Interventions, psychoeducation, mindfulness, play therapy, and more to guide clients in calming the nervous system, reframing thoughts, and reclaiming their sense of self. I help clients better understand the impact of trauma and how it can show up through anxiety, depression, and other symptoms. My goal is to normalize these experiences, reduce distress, and restore a sense of empowerment and stability.
I believe healing happens when we feel safe and seen. Therapy with me is collaborative, warm, and focused on creating meaningful change.
