Getting to know Emmanuelle Lajeunesse
Emmanuelle Lajeunesse, LCSW, is the founder of Soulful Horizon LCSW, PLLC and brings 10 years of clinical experience to her practice. She provides virtual psychotherapy to adolescents ages 12 and older, young adults, and adults located in New York and Tennessee.
Emmanuelle specializes in helping clients who feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, stuck in survival mode, or affected by anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic stress, burnout, grief, or difficult life transitions. She has particular experience working with women and young adults who may appear to be managing well on the outside while privately struggling to feel calm, confident, or in control.
Her approach is compassionate, collaborative, culturally responsive, and practical. She uses evidence-based treatments, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, trauma-focused interventions, psychoeducation, and mindfulness-based strategies. Treatment is tailored to help clients understand patterns, regulate difficult emotions, process painful experiences, and develop skills that support meaningful and lasting change.
Christian faith may be incorporated into therapy when requested by the client. Faith integration is always optional, client-led, and used alongside clinically appropriate treatment.
Emmanuelle earned her Master of Science in Social Work from Columbia University and also holds a Master of Arts in Pastoral Counseling. Services may be available in English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole.
What should a new client know about working with you?
You do not have to begin therapy with the perfect words or a complete understanding of what is wrong. Many clients come to me knowing only that they feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, anxious, disconnected, or tired of repeating the same patterns.
I provide a warm, nonjudgmental, and culturally responsive space where your full story is welcome. My role is not to “fix” you, but to help you feel understood, recognize patterns, strengthen your coping skills, and take meaningful steps forward.
My style is supportive and compassionate, but therapy with me is also active and purposeful. We will not only discuss what has happened; we will work together to understand how your experiences continue to affect your emotions, relationships, choices, and daily life.
You can expect me to listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, offer practical tools, and gently challenge beliefs or coping patterns that may be keeping you stuck. I believe you are the expert on your own life, while I bring clinical knowledge, structure, and perspective to help guide the process.
Private-pay therapy is available for clients who prefer greater flexibility and less involvement from an insurance company. Insurance-based care is also available through selected plans. Regardless of how services are paid for, treatment remains collaborative, individualized, and based on your clinical needs and goals.
Clients who desire Christian integration are welcome to bring their faith, questions, doubts, and spiritual experiences into therapy. Biblical principles, prayer, or other faith-based resources are included only when requested and appropriate. Clients of all backgrounds are treated with dignity and respect.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our first appointment is a comprehensive intake. We will discuss what brought you to therapy, your current concerns, relevant history, strengths, support system, and what you hope will be different as a result of treatment. We will also determine whether my experience and approach are the right fit for your needs.
After the intake, we will develop a treatment plan with specific and meaningful goals. Depending on your needs, treatment may focus on reducing anxiety or depressive symptoms, processing trauma, managing stress and burnout, improving emotional regulation, strengthening boundaries, navigating grief or life transitions, or changing patterns that interfere with your well-being.
I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, trauma-focused approaches, psychoeducation, mindfulness-based strategies, and practical skill building. Treatment is individualized rather than based on a single method for every client.
Sessions may include:
Exploring connections among your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and experiences
Identifying patterns that contribute to distress
Learning emotional-regulation and coping skills
Processing painful or traumatic experiences at an appropriate pace
Practicing boundaries and healthier communication
Examining beliefs that contribute to guilt, fear, shame, or self-doubt
Applying tools between sessions
Reviewing progress and adjusting treatment when needed
Therapy is collaborative. I welcome honest feedback about what is or is not helping so that we can make the process useful and responsive to your needs.

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $200 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $165 for 60 minutes
- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
More information on payments and coverage
Soulful Horizon offers private-pay, insurance-based, and out-of-network psychotherapy options.
Private-pay therapy is available for clients who prefer not to use insurance. Choosing private pay may provide greater flexibility because treatment decisions are made without insurance authorization requirements or insurance-imposed limitations on session frequency or length of treatment.
When insurance is not used, clinical information is not routinely submitted to an insurance company. However, Soulful Horizon still maintains an appropriate clinical record, and diagnostic information may be documented when clinically appropriate.
Private-pay sessions are securely processed through the practice’s electronic health record system.
Clients who have out-of-network benefits may request a superbill to submit to their insurance company for possible reimbursement. A superbill typically includes clinical and diagnostic information required by the insurer. Reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends on the client’s individual plan.
Insurance appointments are available through selected plans administered through Headway. Soulful Horizon also accepts UMR, NYCE PPO, and Carelon through separate billing arrangements outside of Headway. Because network participation and benefits vary by specific plan, insurance coverage must be verified before the first appointment.
A limited number of reduced-fee appointments may occasionally be available. Availability is not guaranteed and should be discussed before scheduling.
All clients receive clear information about fees, insurance processing, and financial responsibility before beginning treatment.
