Getting to know Emelly Calimano-Barnes

I am a passionate and creative Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes deeply in the power of storytelling, self-expression, and healing through connection. I earned my degree from the University of West Florida and am a Miami native with Latino roots, bringing a culturally aware and community-grounded perspective to my work. As a writer at heart, I view each person’s story as meaningful and worthy of care, and I work alongside children, adolescents, and young adults to help them reclaim their voice and sense of self. I bring a warm, nonjudgmental approach to therapy and strive to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, and encouraged to show up exactly as they are. My work is grounded in evidence-based practices while also embracing creativity and play. I enjoy incorporating play therapy, art, creative expression, and affirmations to support self-esteem, empowerment, and resilience. Whether working with K-12 students or young adults navigating life transitions, trauma, or emotional challenges, my goal is to help clients build self-love, confidence, and tools that feel authentic to their lives. Together, we focus on growth, healing, and creating meaning even through difficult experiences.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
