Emily Brinkerhoff

Life can feel confusing, frightening, or lonely. We can work together to find your strengths, build your skills, and increase your confidence. If you've made it this far into looking for a therapist, you know it's time to just pick one and get started. Let's do this!

My approach is collaborative, person-centered, and especially playful when working with children. I’m not interested in forcing people into a particular mold or rushing them toward a predetermined version of “better.” I want to understand your world, meet you where you are, and support you in discovering what works for you.

I became a therapist because I believe we all need support sometimes—even when we’re knowledgeable, thoughtful, and doing our best. Parenting can be especially hard, with endless advice and no one-size-fits-all answer. I love helping parents feel understood, supported, and more confident in understanding their child.

My play space is intentionally warm, welcoming, and full of opportunities for creativity and connection. I bring curiosity and acceptance to my work with parents, helping families better understand one another and find what works for them. I also benefit from collaborating with other professionals to better support children and caregivers.
