I’m Emily, a New York-based virtual EMDR and trauma therapist behind Blue Mind Therapy.

I’m a nationally board certified Art Therapist (ATR-BC) and New York State Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT) with advanced training in EMDR therapy and complex PTSD treatment. I earned my Master’s in Art Therapy from the School of Visual Arts (SVA) in 2017, and completed a Master’s in Psychology with a developmental focus from the City University of New York (CUNY) in 2023.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals of all ages and backgrounds, from diverse communities and life experiences. I am deeply committed to creating an inclusive, culturally sensitive, and anti-racist therapeutic space, welcoming people from all walks of life. My approach is grounded in respect, compassion, and a belief in each person’s innate capacity for healing and transformation. I provide virtual EMDR therapy to clients across New York State, helping adults process trauma and move beyond feeling stuck.

In my personal life, I am inspired by creating art, swimming, connecting with the ocean, and practicing yoga. These activities ground me and offer a deep sense of calm and renewal, which I strive to bring to my therapeutic practice. I feel that my personal life reflects the core values and principles intrinsic in my primary treatment modalities: EMDR therapy, and Art Therapy. I believe that balance and self-expression are vital to well-being, and I’m passionate about helping others find their own sources of inspiration and strength. These values also inform my work as an EMDR therapist in New York, where I integrate creativity, movement, and nervous-system based healing.
