Emily Sloan
For the person who’s doing it all but still doesn’t feel good enough. You’re the one everyone counts on. You keep things moving, show up for others, and try to hold it all together. But behind the scenes, you may be overthinking everything, putting pressure on yourself to get it right, or feeling guilty when you finally slow down. Maybe you’re navigating anxiety, grief, past trauma, relationship challenges, or a life transition that’s left you feeling overwhelmed.
Possibly finding yourself overthinking, trying to keep everything under control, or feeling like no matter how hard you try, its still not good enough.
I help people understand the patterns that keep them feeling stuck, including perfectionism, all-or-nothing thinking, people-pleasing, and the need to feel in control. Together, we’ll work through what’s weighing on you, build practical tools to manage stress and anxiety, and help you feel more confident in yourself and your decisions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and goal-focused. I draw from CBT and EMDR, meeting you where you are and helping you make meaningful changes at a pace that feels manageable.
First session
I take a practical, goal-focused approach, using evidence-based methods like CBT, mindfulness, and self-compassion. I often utilize EMDR, solution-focused, and trauma-informed approaches, so our work is both effective and supportive. I believe in working together and collaborating on strategies that are fitting for your needs. I tend to be straightforward because it helps people make real changes faster, even if it can feel challenging at times. That said, I also make sure sessions are relatable and supportive, so clients feel comfortable sharing honestly.
Strengths
One of my core strengths is my ability to build genuine, trusting relationships with clients, rooted in empathy, active listening, and nonjudgmental presence. I help clients feel seen, safe, and supported, especially in moments of uncertainty, loss, or emotional overwhelm. As a GROW therapist, my approach is deeply strengths-based, client-centered, and trauma-informed. I focus on guiding individuals toward insight and emotional regulation by helping them understand patterns, build resilience, and identify what truly matters to them. I use techniques through creative expression, and somatic grounding tools to meet clients where they are, primarily late adolescents and young adults navigating complex emotional issues. What sets my work apart is my commitment to helping clients move from survival to growth. I help clients not only cope but reconnect with their inner resources, values, and goals. My outcomes often reflect increased self-awareness, improved communication, emotional regulation, and renewed hope, especially in clients who previously felt stuck or unheard.
Ideal clients
I help those who are feeling the weight of stress, perfectionism and control-related struggles. Together we explore the patterns that are keeping you stuck and disconnected from yourself in order to create space to shift toward clarity, resilience and self-compassion. Whether you're dealing with loss or a lifetime of internal pressure, I offer a nonjudgmental space to slow down, process and heal.
