Emily Emerson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist at Northwest Relationships. She works with individuals, couples, and families around stress and anxiety, relationship dynamics, identity exploration, self-esteem, family and youth concerns, and sex therapy. Her work has particular care for clients exploring gender and sexuality, providing a supportive environment to reflect on those experiences with sensitivity.

Emily integrates Narrative Family Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy, grounded in the Person-of-the-Therapist model, which emphasizes authenticity and self-awareness in the work.
