Emily E. Harrison, M.A., Licensed Professional Counselor Associate Supervised by Sunny Lansdale, Ph.D., LPC-S

My clients describe me as:

I have a warm presence and meet emotional pain with compassion, while actively engaging with clients during sessions.

Something to know about my approach is:

Significant loss, grief, and trauma change who we are. It can be hard to know what is normal and what is happening internally. I will meet you where you are without judgment, providing the support to restore insight and recreate a sense of safety.

Together, we will:

It is our past that directly impacts how we will navigate losing loved ones, face a medical diagnosis, and live with pain. Together, we will explore childhood experiences, ways of seeing and being in the world, and how you make meaning of life.

I specialize in working with people who:

I see people of all ages and walks of life who are grappling with a fundamental loss in their lives. Trauma steals away their joy, grief overwhelms their heart, and pain confuses thoughts and interrupts living fully. I offer a path to healing.

I became a therapist because:

I know what it is to grieve and what it is to suffer. I am passionate about supporting those in pain by removing isolation and creating connection.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I am located near the Arboretum off north 360 and my office overlooks a beautiful greenbelt and creek.

More about me and my practice:

I am a three-time cancer thriver and bring a personal understanding of medical trauma, loss, and suffering that goes well-beyond clinical training.
