Getting to know Emily Lalka
*This provider does not accept any Medicaid or Medicare plans*
Something amazing happens when you believe in yourself: you find self-confidence, the courage to live authentically, and the determination to pursue the life of your dreams.
My clients are people who want more from life and are ready to shed the limiting beliefs holding them back from being the most confident version of themselves. Conquering negative self-talk, overcoming old patterns, and setting boundaries that support your mental health are all areas we’ll explore together.
Curiosity and compassion will guide us through this process so we can identify what’s working for you, what isn’t, and create an individualized approach to therapy that’s aligned with the life you want to build. As a result, you’ll be able to ditch the programming that leaves your true self boxed in, rewrite the stories that keep you small, and find the inner fuel for making the most out of life.
The world would be a better place if all of us recognized and took ownership of our inner strength. Sometimes, having a person in your corner to empower you along your journey can make all the difference. Let’s move together in the direction of more joy, deep fulfillment, and authentic purpose.
Said one of Emily’s patients:
“I love Emily. She has helped me change my life.”
Emily Lalka has a Master’s in Social Worker from Boston University. Emily is a Licensed Master Social Worker, LMSW 105594 at Cerebral. Supervised by Gabrielle Borba, Licensed Clinical Social Worker 079407.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Have you ever felt like there is just so much more you want to be and do in the world? Oftentimes, because of our experiences, we learn defense mechanisms and poor strategies of coping that are holding us back from being the best versions of ourselves. Though it may be hard, you can make a different choice. One that will lift you up and create a foundation to pursue your dreams.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I am here to help support you in achieving those goals that seem out of reach. Through our work collaboratively, you will conquer the negative self talk and the doubts. You can develop a confidence in yourself that is unshakeable and not dependent on any person outside yourself. You can reclaim your power, control of your emotions and experience in life.
