Personal Statement

Do you feel like you're stuck? Or that it is difficult to manage your life or emotions? It is not easy to take the first step in seeking therapy but it can honestly change your life in the ways you are are hoping for. If you are struggling to find energy, motivation, quality relationships, or purpose, now is the time to take that first step to help yourself.

During therapy, Dr. Emily Frey assists clients in transforming their pain into positive change in order for them to push through their struggle and shift from a state of feeling stuck to a state of feeling empowered. This includes developing the capacity for emotion regulation, learning to self-soothe, assertiveness training, and building insight into the self. Dr. Frey utilizes Emotion-Focused Therapy, which is an integration of humanistic, cognitive, and psychodynamic therapies, and has witnessed rewarding change through the use of this orientation.

She makes a strong effort to meet clients where they are at, which involves adapting therapy to the client’s needs and respecting how diversity influences each person’s unique narrative. She understands that life consists of complex twists and turns that require both compassion and resilience – two of the areas she focuses on growing in therapy.
