Hello! I am licensed independent clinical social worker, LICSW who is a dedicated and compassionate therapist committed to supporting you on your path to emotional well-being and personal growth. I've had the privilege of guiding individuals through their various challenges for over two decades, helping each client discover their inner strength and resilience to manage symptoms or overcome life transitions and difficulties.
I specialize working with anxiety, anger management, ADHD, improving relationships and communication, navigating life changes, and parenting challenges. I have considerable experience supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals and helping them to navigate the challenges they may encounter with family, friends, or community. I have also worked extensively with parents on navigating challenging childhood behaviors and teenage puberty. Therapy discussions may include behavior management techniques, setting appropriate boundaries, and improving communication to have a healthier parent/child relationship. I have worked with people of all ages ranging from children to the elderly, with more focus devoted to people in late teens to mid-life stages. I currently reside and am licensed in Tennessee with additional licensure in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Florida, and North Dakota.

I have been a professional counselor for 18 years. Counseling is my second career, after working for twenty years in business management. My background and training include experience with addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety & chronic pain . I consider myself to be warm, empathetic, articulate and honest.
My counseling style involves a patient-centered approach (you are the focus), along with values clarification and thought clarification (cognitive-behavioral) elements. I believe every successful client/counselor relationship begins by developing a sense of safety and trust for the client. Given the state of the world these days, many people are struggling emotionally. People come to therapy in hopes of finding a possible solution to problems and to feel better. It is my job to help you meet those needs.
In general, I often work with clients who may have issues with personal addiction, family members with addiction, or individual issues with anxiety and/or depression. Together, we will identify your challenges and your goals - where your life is now, and where you would like to to be in the future. While I may use my experience and expertise to generate possible ideas and actions to take, the ultimate direction of help rests with you, the client.

I believe therapy should feel calm, respectful, and genuinely supportive. I create a space where people can slow down, speak openly, and feel heard without judgment or pressure. My approach is warm, grounded, and collaborative, allowing clients to explore their experiences at a pace that feels comfortable while still working toward meaningful change.
Many people come to therapy carrying stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, or past experiences while continuing to manage daily responsibilities. I enjoy helping people make sense of what they are going through, build insight, and reconnect with their strengths. Conversations are honest and thoughtful, with a focus on understanding the whole person rather than just one concern.
My goal is to offer steady guidance while respecting each client’s individuality, goals, and values. Therapy becomes a space to reflect, gain clarity, heal, and begin moving forward with greater confidence and emotional balance.

I’m a trauma-informed therapist who works with adults navigating anxiety, trauma histories, personality disorders, and the hidden weight of living in survival mode for too long. I bring a steady, grounded style—direct when needed, supportive always—and use CBT, DBT, MI, and evidence-based trauma work to help clients understand their patterns and regain control of their lives. I also have extensive experience with justice-involved individuals, helping people rebuild identity, stability, and self-trust after systems involvement. My work centers on safety, clarity, and real-world change.

Over the years I have worked with adults from various backgrounds and feel that my worldview continues to be shaped by my personal and professional experiences. This helps me provide a non-judgmental, affirming and positive environment for my clients.
Additionally, growing up in South Asia as a gay man and living most of my adult life in the United States and some years in Latin America, I understand the challenges of someone caught between two (or more) cultures and/or being part of a minority group. I am in an interracial marriage and understand those challenges as well.

Hi, I’m Emy Carlson.
I’m a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Integrative Health Therapist practicing in South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Washington, and Oregon (MS, LPC-MH, LPCC, LPC, NCC, CCTP, QMHP). I’m also a Board-Approved Supervisor in South Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa.
I specialize in working with adults and couples navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and motivational interviewing.

Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted from trying to manage everything on their own. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, or challenges with eating and body image, therapy can be a place to slow down, feel understood, and begin making meaningful changes.
I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe being themselves. My approach is collaborative and practical — together we explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build coping strategies that actually fit your life, and work toward goals that matter to you.
I use an evidence-based approach that includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), mindfulness-based techniques and Measurement informed care. I tailor therapy to each individual’s unique needs, strengths, and experiences. Whether you are dealing with constant worry, low self-esteem, relationship stress, emotional eating, perfectionism, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, you do not have to navigate it alone.
I want to help people heal the relationship they have with themselves, their emotions, and their bodies.”

Welcome. I help clients navigate midlife and later life transitions. My goal is to help you feel as mentally and emotionally well as possible while moving through these changes with greater ease. I find it deeply rewarding to help clients discover meaning and fulfillment during these stages of their lives. In our sessions, I listen closely and support you as you work through your challenges. I help you gain insight and develop practical strategies, so you feel less anxious and depressed, have more satisfying family relationships, thrive at work or enjoy retirement, and live in alignment with your values. I also understand how disorienting it can feel to navigate change without a clear map, whether that's an empty nest, a career shift, retirement, or the loss of someone important to you. My own life experience and years of practice have taught me that these transitions, while hard, can also open the door to a deeper sense of purpose.

I'm a licensed therapist specializing in anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life transitions. My approach focuses on developing awareness of how our thoughts, emotions and behaviors are connected, fostering resilience, and empowering clients to work through their challenges.
I enjoy creating a non-judgmental and affirming space for adults with short-term or long-standing mental health and emotional distress. Feelings of anxiety and the need for isolation can be internal cues to request reconnection to what makes our lives meaningful. Ideally, enjoying the moment, knowing how to soothe overwhelming feelings, and engaging our sparkling personalities helps us feel alive.
My clients enjoy my approach of exploring practical strategies by using guiding questions. Exploring thoughts and emotional pain benefits from curiosity and compassion. I am also trained in EMDR, which can be supportive in reframing negative belief systems and releasing trauma.

Although I work with clients of all ages, I particularly enjoy working with adolescents and young adults. I am passionate about helping clients cope with a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, severe and persistent mental illness, family issues, interpersonal relationships, and life transitions.

What happens during the first therapy session?
What happens during the first therapy session?
Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
