Emily Laurita- MFT Student Therapist
Emily enjoys working with individuals, couples, families, and children; she offers both in person and telebehavioral health services to help meet her clients’ needs. Emily is passionate about working from a systems perspective to enhance her understanding of her clients lives, and works collaboratively with her clients to empower them throughout their treatment. Emily’s collaborative approach can be encapsulated by the following quote: “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn” (Benjamin Franklin). Life is about learning and therapy is about learning how to grow.
Emily has experience working with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, PTSD, attachment injuries, infidelity, children, and grief. Of her experiences, Emily most enjoys grief work. Death and loss of loved ones, relationships, pets, and expectations can have a devastating impact on individuals and groups. This is a topic that affects people during every phase of life and should be honored and understood.
Emily has worked with terminally ill cancer patients and their families dealing with anticipatory grief and has a background in both Psychology and Human Development-Family Sciences.
