Getting to know Emily Dynis

**ATTENTION: We accept BCBS, Aetna, and United Healthcare PPO plans only.** **Please expect an email from Elevate Counseling with the online paperwork that must be completed prior to your appointment. Please complete it within 48 hours of receiving it.** I recognize that while all living beings are connected in some way, each person brings unique experiences and knowledge that have led us to this present moment together. I aim to understand you as your own individual to support you in building a life that you find meaningful and worth living. Together, we will consider how different aspects of your identity interact with each other and your environment to find effective ways to reach your goals. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adler University and a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, which have equipped me with the skills and knowledge to provide compassionate, personalized care.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My therapeutic style is warm and authentic – it’s important that you know you are being heard and seen by another person who genuinely cares. Through collaboration and trust, I provide a non-judgmental space that is safe for you to explore your own thoughts, actions and emotions. Safe doesn’t always mean comfortable, so at times I may challenge you to embrace the discomfort of feeling your feelings, and I will be right there with you along the way. My DBT-Informed approach offers much flexibility based on your needs and goals. You can expect me to gently nudge you towards holding multiple truths at the same time in the same space, as oftentimes our beliefs about what is “right”, “wrong”, “good”, or “bad” can cause ourselves a lot of suffering. Whether you are looking to change your habits, improve your relationships, be understood, or anything in-between, I’m so grateful to support you on your own journey.
