Emily Beck, LCSW

She/Her

Are you feeling out of control, overwhelmed, or unable to handle life’s normal stressors?

Has something really challenging or upsetting happened that is causing an inability to manage everyday life? Stress, transition, and loss can cause low self-esteem, difficulty in relationships, and feelings of being unable to manage day-to-day life. I aim to provide a safe space in which to process those stressors and learn to manage them in a healthy way.

I believe that developing a therapeutic relationship is the first step to making changes in your life. If you can build a relationship in therapy, you can build relationships outside of therapy. Having valuable relationships in your life can help you feel like your life has more meaning and can make all the difference in your overall happiness.

Having a place to talk about your feelings and be emotionally safe can make a world of difference. We will work together to allow you to work through your experiences, develop ways to cope when everything in life feels overwhelming, and feel less isolated and alone.
