Dr. Emma Sunshaw, LCPC
The most transformative aspect of counseling is feeling safe and supported by a knowledgeable therapist who will listen empathetically and without judgment as you draw out your best self, using your own inner wisdom applied as "medicine" to overcome obstacles - whether they are internal (for example: low self-esteem, critical inner voice, shame, childhood traumas) or external (for example: illness, loss of a loved one, partner betrayal, family issues, financial troubles). My counseling style is warm and interactive, but with positive accountability to encourage healthy changes.
