About

Empowering clients to create their own meaning from life's challenges, Emily Covello brings a unique blend of person-centered approaches and social justice awareness to her therapeutic practice. As a Mental Health Counselor-Limited Permit (MHC-LP), Emily is passionately dedicated to helping individuals navigate the complex landscapes of anxiety, OCD, panic, life transitions, and trauma recovery.

Emily's educational journey at Antioch University, where she earned her Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, laid the foundation for her holistic approach to therapy. Her additional certificate in trauma counseling further equips her to provide specialized care for those grappling with the effects of past experiences. Emily's therapeutic toolkit is diverse, drawing from existential and mindfulness-based approaches to create a tailored experience for each client.

In the therapy room, Emily cultivates an atmosphere of safety and calm, providing the essential space for clients to confront life's difficulties. Her style is marked by a balance of gentle challenging and the thoughtful use of humor, all in service of helping clients achieve their personal goals. Emily's approach is adaptive, exploring ways to break the patterns that keep people stuck while honoring the impact of their background and cultural experiences.

Emily's commitment to the LGBTQ+ community is evident in her practice, as she recognizes the profound influence of societal and cultural forces on overall well-being. This awareness allows her to offer culturally competent care that addresses the unique challenges faced by diverse populations.

Beyond her professional life, Emily embodies the importance of self-care and authenticity. She finds rejuvenation in spending time with loved ones, traveling, exploring nature, reading, tending to her houseplants, and engaging in craft projects. This personal dedication to balance and growth infuses her practice with a lived understanding of the healing process.

With Emily, clients can expect a collaborative journey towards their personal version of healing. Her approach acknowledges that where we come from impacts where we are, and she works alongside her clients to chart a path forward that is true to their individual needs and aspirations.
