Emily Joyce Dunn, LPC
Emily | Licensed Professional Counselor in San Antonio: Mind, Body & Holistic Well-being
Hello! I'm Emily, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in San Antonio, dedicated to guiding individuals toward peace and fulfillment. My approach emphasizes the profound connection between mind and body wellness, recognizing that true mental health thrives when these elements are in harmony. I also deeply consider how societal and economic factors impact our ability to live authentically, offering a compassionate space to explore these challenges.
As your therapist, my goal is to help you cultivate a stronger sense of peace within yourself, build confidence, and embrace your most authentic life.
Specialized Therapeutic Approaches & Expertise
I provide evidence-based therapeutic support using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). These modalities are highly effective in addressing a wide range of life difficulties, including:
- Trauma and PTSD
- Grief and Loss
- Chronic Pain and Illness
- Life Transitions and the Aging Process
Supporting Diverse Communities
I specialize in offering affirming and knowledgeable care to several specific populations:
- LGBTQIA+ community: Providing inclusive and understanding support for sexual orientation and gender identity.
- Neurodivergent clients: Creating a therapeutic environment that respects and supports neurodiversity.
- Individuals with Chronic Pain and Chronic Illness: Helping clients navigate the unique mental health impacts of long-term physical conditions.
Your Journey Towards Well-being
Whether you're new to therapy or have previous experience, I am committed to working collaboratively with you. Together, we will identify your goals and determine the most effective therapeutic paths to support your journey toward living a rich, meaningful life.
