Emily Heimberger, MA, LPC Associate

You know logically that you are safe, but deep down, your nervous system has not caught up. You might find yourself living on autopilot, feeling detached from daily life, or managing internal conflicts where one part of you wants to move forward while another pulls back. When complex trauma is present, trying to think your way out of it usually hits a wall. I offer a space that is warm, collaborative, and deeply relational. Therapy with me bridges that gap between intellectual understanding and felt relief. My practice is grounded in affirmative care and cultural humility, welcoming all parts of who you are without judgment.

I specialize in helping adults navigate Complex PTSD (CPTSD), structural dissociation, attachment trauma, and chronic nervous system dysregulation. Many of my clients are "therapy veterans" who have hit a plateau in traditional talk therapy and still feel braced for danger. Because trauma can leave your system overwhelmed, we prioritize safety, pacing, and stabilization first. We move at the pace of your nervous system, integrating phase-oriented care, specialized EMDR, IFS-informed parts work, Ego State therapy, and somatic tracking so your internal system can align and finally realize the threat is over.
