Emily Friedlander, LCSW (she/her)
I am a therapist licensed to provide psychotherapy services in Connecticut and New York. I am also approved to provide EMDR consultation as a CIT (consultant in training), helping other clinicians expand their knowledge and confidence in using EMDR. My therapeutic specialties include trauma, anxiety, and LGBTQIA+ affirming care.
My Philosophy on Therapy
It is such an honor to be a witness to a person’s healing journey. I firmly believe that every person has within them the capacity to heal and create a life with meaning. As a therapist, it is not my job to provide answers, but to collaborate with you to uncover your own resilience. My values in and out of the therapy room are rooted in anti-racist values, and I strive to provide a culturally-responsive environment for you through curiosity and compassion.
My Approach
I am EMDRIA-certified in EMDR (Eye Movement, Desentisation, and Reprocessing). I am also trained in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and ego states (parts) therapies. While I pull tools from EMDR most frequently, we will work together to find a therapeutic approach that is most effective for you.
