Emily Sutherland

Emily is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with a Master’s degree in Counselor Education from East Carolina University.

Emily believes in the inherent capacity each person has for growth, healing, and positive change. She understands that every individual brings a unique history, set of experiences, and worldview into the counseling space. With that in mind, she is committed to practicing with cultural sensitivity and respect for each client’s personal journey.

Emily strives to create a supportive, empathetic, and open environment where clients feel safe to explore their struggles. She views the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative one—working alongside clients to clarify their goals and build a path forward, at a pace that feels right for them.

Her approach is primarily person-centered, rooted in the belief that clients are the experts on their own lives. She also incorporates elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychoeducation, and mindfulness techniques. Emily takes a holistic view of well-being, recognizing the strong connection between mind and body in the healing process.

Her clinical interests include supporting individuals navigating family of origin issues, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, parenting, and narcissistic abuse.

Outside the office, Emily enjoys reading, cooking, and spending time with her dog, Ziggy.
