Getting to know Emily Steffen

Emily works with teens, college students, young adults, and parents navigating a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, perfectionism, ADHD, grief and loss, and major life transitions.

She believes meaningful therapy begins with a genuine connection and works to build a trusting relationship that helps clients feel safe, understood, and supported as they move toward meaningful change.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In addition to working with adolescents and young adults, Emily specializes in supporting parents at all stages of the parenting journey. She works with individuals navigating pregnancy, fertility challenges, postpartum anxiety and depression, identity shifts, and the ongoing mental load of caregiving. Emily is currently completing training for her Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International. She believes therapy should be tailored to each individual and collaborates with clients to develop an approach that best fits their goals and needs. Using evidence-based approaches including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Internal Family Systems work, Emily helps clients build resilience, manage stress, and reconnect with what matters most.
