Emilie Brazinski, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

I believe that therapy is only successful if the therapist and client work together as a team to identify the client’s needs and how to best meet them. I empower my clients and provide them with the tools they need to better handle life’s challenges. I believe in a Trauma-Informed approach to counseling, where I create a safe environment for clients to heal, grow, and learn. I am empathetic, validating, and creative when coming up with approaches to help my clients achieve their goals. I love to incorporate art and creativity into my treatments, and advocate for the healing qualities that creative expression can have for some clients.
