Meet Emily…

Hi! I’m Emily Stevens (she/her), I’m an artist and storyteller at heart as well as a first generation college graduate who was a high achiever in academics despite a chaotic world inside my head.

Growing up as a member of Gen Z (and as an only child), I found myself in more than enough awkward social situations and leaned into the wonder of online communities and creativity.

I know how important it is to know you aren’t alone. 

As a queer therapist growing up in the south, I have a passion for research and advocacy of all kinds, especially in the LGBTQIA+ community. I’ve found so much light and hope working in a world on fire with individuals who have experienced trauma/PTSD, OCD, dissociation, depression and anxiety.

My drive for advocacy work and breaking barriers along with my values of creating safe spaces and trusting relationships with clients has led me to find my calling in Clinical Social Work.

EVERY person has the ability to take control of their narrative and live their best life, whatever that looks like for you!

One of my favorite parts about the work I do is watching someone learn how to fall in love with life again. I look forward to working with you to uncover your passions and strengths to get your light back.

You are the one you’ve been waiting for, it’s time to commit to your healing and go to therapy.

Let's utilize your inner power and courage to build your BEST!

This is some of the boring (but important!) stuff:

I got my BSW at the University of South Florida and went on to get my MSW at the same University. I am trained in Brainspotting and frequently seek continuing education, conferences, supervision and new information to be the best I can be for my clients.

This is your sign - It's time to start your therapy journey!

I'm ready when you are.

My Approach

My clinical approach and belief system is that we must first create a safe place in our body and minds so we can in turn feel safe enough to create the life of our dreams. I help people explore their identity to find their true self and step into their power.

If you’re a creative I would love to incorporate your talent into the healing work we do. I also work with people of all belief systems and if you have spirituality you want to bring to session it’s welcome.

I come from an empathetic, humanistic and holistic approach, evaluating all of the areas that play a part in your life to help you troubleshoot realistic solutions and find peace. My love for art and storytelling drives me to find creative and applicable solutions to provide you with the best support possible.

I believe that every person is capable of bouncing back and seeing life in a new energized light no matter what part of your journey you’re on. Let me help you!

10 Things I Love

1. Travelling!

Out of the office I’m most likely adventuring exploring my Florida backyard or chasing new horizons.

2. Cute Trinkets

I am such a sucker for a cute little pink kitty trinket with a bow. I’m always making some more room for my next adorable find/creation.

3. Good Food

Some favs include alfredo pasta, rice and beans in any form or a nice pub sub.

4. Animals!!

I used to have two rats, a hamster and two miniature schnauzers that live on in my heart fondly.

5. Giving Compliments

Seeing someone’s eyes light up after I compliment their fit, cut crease makeup look, bedazzled crocs or tattoos.

Connection is everything.

6. Good Stories

Transporting yourself to a different world is so fun.

The Lord of The Rings is one of my favorite fantasy series!

7. A Warm Cup of Tea

Earl gray creme tea preferably, perfection!

8. Clouds

My favorite kind is cumulonimbus clouds and no, I could not spell that off the top of my head.

(They’re the big fluffy ones!)

9. Creativity

Art in just about every form.

A pottery wheel, paint brush or pencil in hand, who knows what whacky creation could emerge!

10. Watching my clients fall in love with living again

The excitement of engaging in a new hobby or getting a perfect croissant at the bakery.

It’s the little things that add up.
