Getting to know Dr. Emma Herman

Dr. Emma Herman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist (CST), & PhD in Clinical Sexology specializing in relationships, sexuality, intimacy, attachment, self-esteem, and body image. She works with individuals & couples navigating challenges with communication, boundaries, people-pleasing, self-silencing, self-worth, sexuality, mismatched desire, chronic conditions / pain, infidelity, and recurring relationship issues & patterns. She is particularly interested in how early experiences & attachment influence adult relationships, intimacy, and the ways people learn to express—or silence—their needs. Her approach is warm, collaborative, and holistically integrative, drawing from relational and attachment-based therapy, somatic approaches, mindfulness, CBT, IFS-informed techniques, and narrative therapy. She tailors treatment to each client's experiences and goals, helping them develop insight, emotional awareness, and healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. Dr. Emma also incorporates guided meditation, relaxation, & therapeutic hypnosis when appropriate. She recognizes that meaningful change doesn't always come from analyzing a problem more deeply. Sometimes, insight emerges when the mind & body have an opportunity to slow down. These approaches help clients safely tune inwards to explore emotions & underlying patterns with greater curiosity, without the pressure to have all the answers. Whether clients feel stuck in familiar patterns, disconnected from themselves, or uncertain about what needs to change, she offers a supportive space to explore their experiences and develop a deeper understanding of themselves. She aims to help clients build greater self-trust, authentic connections, and more fulfilling relationships. She welcomes individuals and couples across diverse identities, sexual orientations, and relationship structures, including LGBTQIA+, kink-affiliated & consensually / ethically non-monogamous clients.
