Emily Daniel-Murphy
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California's Bay Area. I believe in a holistic (physical, emotional, spiritual, and intellectual), culturally sensitive, person centered approach to therapy.
Being a mixed-race woman born and raised in a multicultural family and community, I place a high value and appreciation for working with a diverse client population.
I have a great interest and passion in perinatal/ postnatal work as well as life transitions, grief and loss and caregiver support (whether caregiving for a child, spouse, parent or family member). I integrate inner strength, stress management, self-care, physical health and many other aspects of wellness into sessions. I strive to provide an authentic and non- judgmental environment that can be humorous and fun, as well as vulnerable and challenging. Being a mixed-race woman born and raised in a multicultural family and community, I place a high value and appreciation for working with a diverse client population. I am very intentional about creating a safe and welcoming therapeutic relationship and I believe that this is essential for change and growth when engaging in therapy. I am humbled to begin working with you.
