About Emily Lichter
Growing up is hard, and being a young person today comes with a unique set of pressures. As
a licensed clinical social worker specializing in children, teens, and young adults, my goal is
simple: to be a steady, supportive ally during some of life's most transformative (and sometimes
turbulent) years.
My practice is built on empathy, authenticity, and a little bit of humor. I meet my clients exactly
where they are and take pride in building genuine connections. I recognize that a "one-size-fits-
all" approach doesn't always work for young minds, so I blend traditional talk therapy with strengths-
based and creative interventions to keep clients engaged and empowered. To best support
each unique individual, I regularly utilize:
● Humanistic Therapy: To ensure our space is collaborative, non-judgmental, and client-
centered.
● CBT & DBT Skills: To provide concrete tools for navigating anxiety, managing intense
emotions, and shifting unhelpful thought patterns.
● Solution-Focused Therapy: To help clients identify concrete goals and build on their
existing strengths.
I frequently work with individuals facing anxiety, self-esteem hurdles, family changes, and the
day-to-day stress of navigating school and social landscapes. I am also deeply committed to
providing safe, compassionate support for young people facing severe distress, depression, and
suicidal ideation.
Therapy with me isn't about being "fixed", rather it’s about understanding yourself better,
learning how to handle tough emotions, and building a toolkit for the future. Let’s work together
to help you (or your child) thrive.
