Getting to know Emily Sledge

Emily Sledge works with clients navigating OCD, BFRBs, anxiety/phobias, and acute PTSD many of whom are in the LGBTQ+ community. With over a decade of clinical experience and training, as well as lived experience with OCD, she uses ACT-based ERP to help clients step out of their intrusive thoughts and move towards what matters. Her approach is compassionate and empowering.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I was drawn to this work because of my own experience with OCD. I know what it's like to be bombarded with painful, unwanted thoughts that spiral out of control and take over your life. Over the past decade, I've worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, completed several ACT trainings, and did ERP training through Cognitive Behavior Institute. I also engage in ongoing ERP consultation groups. I've seen, both personally and professionally, how effective the right treatment can be for those with OCD and anxiety-related disorders. Today I use ACT-based ERP to help you step out of the spiral and move towards what matters to you. When you work with me, you'll be met with nonjudgment and we will go at a pace that feels doable.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My top priority is for your body and brain to feel safe, accepted, and free to be exactly yourself in my presence. In the intake process, I will ask questions about your life and try to get a full picture of your challenges, strengths, and goals. I will also complete a few assessments based on your presenting issues. It is important to get a baseline for your symptoms and goals so that we can regularly track your progress through re-evaluations and make sure this relationship is serving you well. Therapy with me is an active healing process of learning about yourself and gaining the tools to live a full, meaningful life. Often, I will teach something in session, we will practice together, and I will then send you out to practice throughout your week. The following week will start with how that went and working through any barriers to success.
