“Emma has been a wonderful therapist to me over the past few years. I look forward to our weekly sessions and she helps ensure I am set up for success and have a safe space to share my feelings and worries. ”

“Emma will change your life for the better. She not only has vast knowledge, expertise, continues to grow her knowledge base with updated industry developments and therapeutic techniques, but she is also so incredibly compassionate. She made me feel seen, heard, and understood in a way that allowed me to survive and thrive in some of the darkest times of my life. With Emma I was able to process traumas and create the life I wanted. When I started, I was a shell of a person. Years later, I can genuinely say I love myself and am proud of who I’ve become. She is the best listener and makes you feel validated. I wouldn't have had the strength to get through these years without her. Her support and dedication are unmatched. For Emma, therapy isn’t just a career. It’s her heart. She genuinely cares and always seems to understand. Every session wasn’t easy (duh trauma) but lead me to where I am now, living my dream! ”

Getting to know Emma Demar
Hi, I’m Emma Demar, LCSW — aka That Trendy Therapist.
I’m so glad you found your way here. Looking for a therapist can feel overwhelming, and I truly appreciate you taking this step.
I offer warm, virtual therapy across New Jersey and New York from the comfort of your own home. Whether you’re navigating eating disorders, anxiety, postpartum challenges, self-confidence struggles, relationship patterns, depression, or a big life transition — I’m here to support you and help you navigate your journey while making you feel seen and heard.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Author of the book The Truth Teller: The Truth Behind Our Masks, podcast host, and former actress (yes, I was on Gossip Girl). I bring a relatable, modern approach to therapy and I incorporate a variety of tools such as the Enneagram, a personality typing system, to help clients gain deeper self-awareness and compassion for themselves and their patterns.
My style blends psychodynamic work (understanding the root of things), CBT, and DBT skills — always tailored to what feels most helpful for you.

Emma is an amazing listener who remembers details from 6+ years of working together. Talking to her is like having a trustworthy and nonjudgmental friend, while also getting the support, perspective, and guidance of a therapist who truly knows you. I gained the skills to cope and work through problems on my own. She’s invested in long-term progress. She’s helped me cope with anxiety, depression, binge eating disorder, setting boundaries, and many other life challenges. She continues to be a wonderful source of support.

Emma was my therapist for 3 years and helped me during some of the hardest times of my life. She was always gentle with her delivery, and very understanding and compassionate during our sessions. Emma also made herself available to text outside of sessions if there was something urgent I needed to talk through. Seeing a therapist that was young and charismatic made returning to therapy way less daunting, and I would recommend her to anybody that is looking for a warm, flexible, and grounded therapist who truly cares about her clients!

Emma and I have been working for a long time and she’s a very down-to-earth, understanding therapist. She doesn’t make me feel like she expects me to do anything, rather she makes recommendations based on what she knows about my comfort level and my history and personality. She feels like a friend I can talk to about anything, but with the expert, objective perspective that you only get from someone who’s heard about and studied a lot of similar situations. She’s been an extremely valuable resource to me in my treatment for anorexia, anxiety, and depression, and it always makes me feel better to have her to voice my feelings to, because she truly listens and gives great advice. I highly recommend her, both for her skills, attention, and professionalism, and for who she is as a person.

Emma has helped me so much (over the past few years) coping with anxiety and overcoming an eating disorder. She is a very special therapist and my life became significantly better after regular sessions with her.

I loved my ~4 years of sessions with Emma. She is compassionate and kind and listens actively. I loved the way she remembered and recalled little details about my life. She was majorly helpful in healing my relationship with food and I absolutely recommend anyone struggling with an ED to work with her.
