Getting to know Emily Eckstein

Hi there, I'm Emily! I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with a Doctorate in Psychology. I’ve been practicing since 2010 and also serve in a leadership role in the treatment space and as a professor. My approach to therapy is rooted in integrity, community, and service, using a multi-modal approach to foster healing and growth. I am committed to helping individuals, families, and communities experience increased joy through reparative experiences and relationships. My approach My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from a variety of modalities to best meet the unique needs of each client. While I have been trained as a psychoanalytic practitioner, I am also deeply versed in postmodern approaches such as Narrative Therapy and Gestalt Therapy. Additionally, I incorporate evidence-based methods like CBT, DBT, and ACT, which are particularly effective for creating quick, tangible changes. This blend of techniques allows me to tailor interventions that foster deep emotional insight while also supporting practical and immediate progress. My focus Previously, I have specialized in working with individuals around substance abuse, eating disorders, and those navigating life and age transitions. Most recently, I’ve worked extensively with highly successful, creative, and driven individuals, particularly within production companies in Los Angeles. I also have a strong passion for working with adolescents, helping them navigate the challenges of adolescence and growth into adulthood. Additionally, I enjoy supporting anyone striving to live an authentic, value-driven life, offering tailored support that fosters both immediate relief and long-term growth. My communication style As a therapist, I create a warm, supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and respected. My approach is deeply humanistic and empathetic, focused on meeting each person where they are.
