Hello! I'm Emma Newman, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) specializing in substance abuse, trauma, personality disorders, and mental health issues. My journey into therapy began in the realm of substance abuse and mental health treatment, where I witnessed firsthand the profound impact that compassionate support and evidence-based interventions can have on individuals struggling with addiction and mental health challenges. Motivated by a deep sense of empathy and a commitment to making a difference, I pursued specialized training in trauma, personality disorders, and various mental health issues. With a compassionate and empathetic approach, I provide evidence-based therapy to help you heal and thrive. Let's work together to navigate your challenges and create a meaningful life. Reach out today to take the first step towards a brighter tomorrow.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Working with me involves a collaborative and client-centered approach. During our intake process, I prioritize understanding your unique needs and goals to tailor a personalized treatment plan. Progress is measured through open dialogue and regular feedback, ensuring we stay aligned with your evolving objectives. I often incorporate homework assignments between sessions to reinforce learning and promote ongoing growth outside of therapy. I have a particular affinity for working with clients navigating life transitions, those managing anxiety or depression, and those seeking to enhance their overall well-being. My therapeutic style blends cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices, fostering a supportive environment for exploring and addressing challenges. Above all, I strive to create a safe and empathetic space where clients can explore, heal, and ultimately thrive.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a provider, I believe my greatest strengths lie in my empathy, relatability, sense of humor, and nurturing approach. These qualities allow me to connect deeply with clients, creating a comfortable and trusting environment where they feel understood and supported. My empathy helps me grasp their emotional experiences, while being relatable and occasionally injecting humor can lighten the mood and build rapport. I strive to nurture clients through their challenges, empowering them to explore their strengths and navigate their healing journey effectively.

Virtual & in-personMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I work collaboratively with clients to set clear goals and utilize techniques such as cognitive restructuring and behavioral experiments to challenge negative thoughts and behaviors. By focusing on practical skills and personalized strategies, I aim to improve emotional regulation and empower clients to manage their mental health effectively.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach used primarily to treat trauma and PTSD. During EMDR sessions, I guide my client through recalling distressing memories while simultaneously stimulating bilateral brain activity, typically through side-to-side eye movements, taps, or sounds. This bilateral stimulation helps process traumatic memories by facilitating the brain's natural healing mechanisms. The therapist assists the client in accessing and reprocessing these memories in a safe and controlled manner, aiming to reduce the emotional intensity and negative beliefs associated with them. Over time, EMDR can help clients achieve symptom relief, improve their ability to cope with triggers, and promote psychological healing and integration.
