Emily dew adorno, lcmhc (They/She): adult therapist
“It is revolutionary for any trans person to choose to be seen and visible in a world that tells us that we should not exist.” -Laverne Cox
My name is Emily Dew-Adorno (they/she) and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who has been working in the mental health field for three years. I strive to make sure my clients feel acknowledged, understood, and validated. The foundation of my sessions are based on the belief that clients are the expert of their own life and thus view sessions as a collaboration of knowledge and expertise. I am committed to helping clients feel empowered, recognizing their reliance, and develop a deeper connection to themselves. Through my life experiences as a fat, non-binary, queer, chronically ill individual, I can offer a unique prospect to therapy that allows my clients to often feel more understood and acknowledged.
My specialties include PTSD/C-PTSD and complex relational trauma, (specifically childhood physical/sexual/emotional abuse, family trauma, and neglect), the LGBTQIA+ community (specifically trans and non-binary lived experiences, to include social and medical transition), depression, ADHD and neurodivergence, individuals with chronic illness and disabilities, and interpersonal relationships. I work with individuals ages 18+ via telehealth only. In my sessions, I often use Psychotherapy (talk therapy), Internal Family Systems (IFS) Person Center Theory, Feminist Theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Psychoeducation.
I am in network with Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, Medcost, and United Healthcare. I am fully virtual and do not offer in person appointments.
