Emily Stern, LMHC

Emily Stern, LMHC, believes therapy should be a place where you feel supported, understood, and encouraged. She helps adults move through grief, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, and postpartum challenges with compassion and care. In every session, Emily creates a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your story, strengthen your coping skills, and reconnect with a sense of hope and purpose.

Emily is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She draws from each approach as needed to best support your goals. DBT may help you manage strong emotions and build distress tolerance. CBT can guide you in shifting unhelpful thought patterns. EMDR provides a path for processing trauma and difficult memories. For new parents, Emily offers dedicated postpartum therapy, supporting those experiencing postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, or the identity shifts that come with caring for a new baby.

Emily is passionate about walking beside clients through both pain and growth. She understands how heavy life can feel at times and how meaningful it is to find steadier ground. Whether you are seeking DBT therapy for support with emotion regulation or postpartum care that helps you feel less alone, Emily will meet you with warmth, encouragement, and a belief in your capacity to heal.
