Emily Lohman-Spear, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Im a psychodynamic therapist specializing in trauma-informed and mindfulness-based care, offering therapy for posttraumatic stress, stress, and the everyday challenges of being human. Ive spent more than twenty years supporting people through these experiences. Over time, Ive seen how transformative it can be when someone gains the courage to understand themselves with deeper insight, understanding, and self-compassion. Thats the heart of my work. My approach is trauma-informed and grounded in mindfulness with a psychodynamic foundation. I help people build awareness, emotional regulation, and a sense of internal safety. I dont push for quick fixes. I create space to explore whats happening beneath the surface. My background includes many years in private practice, clinical supervision, and work as a mindfulness educator, all of which shape the steady, thoughtful presence I bring to therapy. I believe the therapeutic relationship is one of the most powerful parts of healing. Feeling genuinely seen and understood can open doors that have been closed for a long time. I work collaboratively, at your pace and with deep respect for your lived experience. If youre looking for a therapist who brings warmth, depth, and a mindful, relational approach, Id be honored to connect and learn more about what youre hoping for in this next chapter.
