Welcome
I'm Dr. Emily Pavlisin. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist with advanced training in perinatal mental health and trauma. I also offer therapy for anxiety, depression, life transitions, and more.
My Approach
In therapy, I offer a warm, gentle, and grounding presence. My first priority in our work together is to build a relationship in which you feel safe, cared for, and deeply understood. I bring genuine care, compassion, and strong expertise. Within this therapy relationship, I provide space for you to process your experiences, identify patterns or parts of your history that may be keeping you stuck, and learn practical tools to cope with present challenges.
I offer tailored, evidence-based treatment for perinatal mood concerns, trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and more. I value providing a space that is culturally responsive and affirming of all aspects of your identity.

What I Treat
Perinatal Mood Concerns
I offer specialized treatment for folks navigating fertility, pregnancy, loss, postpartum, and other parenthood-related concerns
Trauma
I provide evidence-based, trauma-informed treatment for trauma and PTSD. I offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when appropriate.
Depression

Life Transitions and Adjustments
I offer individualized support for life transitions and adjustments. Some examples may include marriage, divorce, loss, relationship changes, becoming a parent, job loss and career changes, etc.
