Hi, I’m Ema Grant.
Licensed Professional Counselor
I specialize in male psychology, growth in life changes, self-esteem, and relationship issues.
Whatever the reason you're looking for therapy, you've likely held it in for a long time, and finally reached a breaking point. Maybe you're struggling to perform at work, your relationships are really tense, friendships feel empty and shallow, or you're not able to enjoy the things you used to. But here's the good news. You don't have to be miserable, and you don't have to keep hitting dead-ends trying to get what you want. Therapy can help you become the best of yourself. As you get to know yourself, even the parts you've buried, you'll also learn how to show up more authentically in the areas of life that matter most.
With a decade of experience working with men, as well as training from male psychology expert Dr. Terry Real, I have unique perspectives and skills to help you learn how to be the partner, parent, and person you were made to be. You'll learn how to identify and express emotions, communicate well, and build stronger connections to the world around you.
My Approach
Let's be honest, therapy is kind of weird. But it's also the best gift you can give yourself and the people who love you. Do it for them - your partner, your kids, your friends. But also for you. Because you deserve to be well, and deserve to be whole.
I work with men (and women!) who want to better understand themselves, their story, and their patterns so that they can learn how to become the best version of themselves they can be.
While we address the issues that brought you in and develop skills to improve those issues, we'll also look at where and why the patterns you've learned, that used to help you, are now getting in the way.
Give me a call or email me and let's set up a free consultation. I'd be honored to walk this road with you, if you're up for the challenge.
Safe Space
Choosing to meet with a therapist is a bold, brave, deeply personal thing to do. I intentionally strive to create an environment where you are heard, understood, respected, and cared for, while also directed and guided in growth and healing.
Your Space
While I do maintain a focus on our agreed-upon goals for therapy, each session is also your time to use for what you need to discuss. Sessions are about 50 minutes and are typically scheduled weekly or biweekly depending on need.
My background
I have been a licensed therapist since 2016 and have worked in the mental health field since 2010.
I have extensive training in male psychology, grief work, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Relational Life Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Therapy.
Relational Life Therapy, developed by Dr. Terry Real, integrates principles from IFS, DBT, Psychodynamic, and other methods, to provide evidence-based tools to not only improve your relational skills, but also address past trauma, ineffective coping strategies, and improve self-esteem and self-compassion.
