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 through 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.
