Emma Coate

I understand that making the decision to begin therapy can be as daunting as it is positive. I will provide a warm, supportive space to begin to sort out life’s challenges. I believe that everyone has the resilient capacity to create change and will help guide clients toward healthy goals by letting go of past issues, negative thoughts, and/or unwanted behaviors. As an experienced, licensed psychotherapist with a masters degree in clinical social work from the University of Chicago, I have been a practicing social worker since 2004 and a psychotherapist since 2011. In working with teens, young adults, adults, families, and couples; my areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, mood regulation, job stress, persons living with chronic medical conditions or diseases and their families, LGBTQ individuals, survivors of abuse, boundary work, eating disorders, substance abuse, and self harm. I believe in an individualized, strength-based, compassionate, and culturally-sensitive approach
