Getting to know Emily Linaman
Hi there, I'm Emily. I am passionate about helping women and men reconnect to their truest, most authentic selves after experiencing trauma, loss, stress, and other life challenges that have left them feeling depleted, empty, anxious, lacking direction, or self-esteem. Often, we know who we truly are and what we are truly capable of at our core, but we have lost trust in ourselves and our ability to act in our own best interest. Together, we will explore the decisions, habits, and behaviors that no longer serve you and work to replace these habits with new ones that align with your most authentic self and the life you want to lead. Let me help you discern what serves you and what needs to be updated, tweaked, or let go of. Whether you are struggling with trauma reminders, addiction, relationship dysfunction, battered self-esteem, or cycles of depression and anxiety, I'm here to help. My clients describe me as highly intuitive, relational, flexible, and quite direct when I need to be. I don't believe in wasting your time by acting as a blank slate or empty chair. I will offer you active feedback and insight. I will help you create a road map to redirect you toward alignment with your goals and authenticity. I will help you reframe recurring themes and dynamics to increase your personal insight and support your personal growth. I hold a Master's in Social Work from San Francisco State University, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to support you effectively on your journey.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Clients can expect to leave our sessions feeling a little lighter, more connected, more seen, more validated. Our work together will empower you with more clarity about small steps you can take right away to get on the right path for you. Sometimes therapy can feel hard or scary as we approach issues related to old wounds or traumas that may have been avoided in the past. This is normal and is an important part of the recovery process. I believe that pacing is important, as is trust and rapport; therefore, we will take our time to safely and gradually work toward exploring these deeper issues that may be at the root of many of life's problems and difficulties. As we learn to address old hurts, we also need to layer in lots of self care and compassion in order to feel safe and stabilized.

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.
