Emily Newbury, PsyD, LPC-MHSP (temp)

Emily Newbury is a PsyD, LPC-MHSP (temp) and she has been a therapist for about five years.

It often feels like life gets more complicated as you move into adulthood. It can feel impossible to cope with the daily demands: work, school, relationships, food, family, friends, and self-care. It’s hard to juggle it all.

With these, Emily can help you manage the chaos and create calm. She specializes in working with young adults who are in transition and who struggle with disordered eating, anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and trauma. Perfectionism and inner critics make things worse, deepening depression, ramping up anxiety, and complicating our relationship with food and our bodies.

Can you relate?

She offers therapy specifically for college students, young adults, and early career professionals. Emily will help you break free from living in chronic stress mode by understanding the mind-body connection and collecting body-based regulation tools to create a sense of safety. You will work hand-in-hand with Emily through your concerns together and quiet that loud inner voice that says, “I’m not enough.”

Emily's job is to establish a calming, anchoring, non-judgmental presence while you face difficult situations and move into adulthood. As a trained psychologist, she has worked with college students and emerging adults for almost a decade. She is passionate about helping burned-out folks feel more connected!
