Hi, I'm Emily Hoelscher, a Licensed Professional Counselor with twenty one years of experience in the state of Texas. I have experience working with adults, adolescents, and children both in individual and group settings. In addition, I specialize in working with couples and families. I believe the best treatment comes from establishing trust in the therapeutic relationship. You want to make sure you feel comfortable and that I am the right fit for you as a counselor. In counseling, I aim to be supportive and compassionate, while actively listening to and respecting the issues that my clients are facing. I want to meet my clients where they are at, whether it be in struggles or encouraging achievements as counseling progresses. My counseling style combines strength-based, cognitive-behavioral, and solution-focused approaches to help individuals achieve their therapeutic goals. Identifying one's strengths and coping skills that can be used to help work through various issues is an important part of my therapy approach. In counseling, I want to see my clients have hope for their future, and that from the therapeutic relationship that they gain skills and confidence to manage what may come in life. If you feel like I would be the right counselor for you, I would be honored to work with you.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session you'll share with me what brought you to counseling and an overview of what issues are most pressing for you. The most important thing is that by the end you can decide if you feel comfortable with me as your counselor. From there, we will partner together to come up with a plan for concrete change for your life.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I truly enjoy working with my clients and believe that in counseling we share a sacred space when you trust me with your life's story. I am here to listen, help, and be a safe place for you to be able to open up.
