Getting to know Emily Tham
*This provider does not accept any Medicaid or Medicare plans*
I specialize in helping individuals navigate generational trauma, life transitions, low self-esteem, grief, anxiety, and depression. Recognizing the challenge of starting therapy, I focus on building trust through empathy, active listening, and human connection. Therapy can unlock transformative growth, fostering introspection and healing. Together, we'll develop coping skills, build self-awareness, and cultivate resilience to navigate life's challenges with confidence. My goal is to support you in achieving lasting change and personal growth on your healing journey.
I create a comfortable space where clients can share deeply personal experiences, using natural conversation to build trust and authenticity. These connections are key to effective therapy. Outside the therapy room, I practice the self-care I advocate for, enjoying time with loved ones and exploring new places through travel.
Taking the first step into therapy can feel daunting, and that's completely normal. However, there's no better time than now to begin taking control of your story and creating meaningful change. Remember, therapy is a journey, not a destination. Every step you take brings you closer to becoming your best self. Let's take that first step together!
As endorsed by Bria Taylor on Psychology Today:
"Emily has a great approach that is tailored uniquely to meeting a client's individual needs. She has a refined approach to best create a space that is affirming, validating, supportive, and welcoming. It's more than a session but an experience that she fosters; she is an excellent choice!"
Emily Tham has a Master of Arts in Counseling from New York University. Emily is a Mental Health Counselor with a Limited Permit, MHC-LP 18-P123289-01 at Cerebral. Supervised by Nicole Barman, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC 013501.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My ideal clients are those who seek a safe space where they can be heard and vulnerable while processing sensitive topics. These clients are committed to deepening their self-awareness, gaining tools to navigate life's challenges, and accepting past experiences. My role is to support them in this journey, prioritizing their personal growth and helping them achieve their goals.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Working with me is a collaborative experience built on open, genuine conversation. I create a space where both of us are fully present and engaged, fostering a continuous connection throughout our sessions. You can expect a dynamic, two-way dialogue where I’m actively involved in your healing journey, working alongside you as you explore, grow, and find solutions. My goal is to support you every step of the way, creating an environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to take meaningful steps forward.
