I've had the privilege to serve as a mental health counselor for many years, in both inner-city public schools and group practices.
During my time as a graduate student at Northwestern University, I specialized in child and adolescent trauma. Afterwards, I advanced my studies and received a certification in Integrative Trauma Studies at the National Institute for Psychotherapies in NY.
Emily Klein is a licensed mental health counselor and licensed professional counselor. She is an empathic, compassionate, and non-judgmental therapist with a focus supporting adults with diverse needs. She has worked with children, adolescents and adults of all ages over the last 19 + years. She has experience working in client homes, school and clinical settings, but has maintained a virtual practice since 2020. Emily's specialty areas are stress, anxiety, ADHD, depression, low self-esteem, life struggles and transitions, relationship issues, breakups, grief and family struggles.
My professional journey has spanned a range of settings, including private practice, a program serving adults with severe mental illness, residential treatment center for adolescents, mobile mental health services, and mental health urgent care.
I have been a mental health clinician for over 20 years and have worked with many people to help them be their preferred self. I am licensed in Connecticut and Massachusetts.
I help women move through fear, self-doubt, and old patterns so they can step into clarity, confidence, and fulfillment — both personally and professionally. Many of my clients are navigating transitions like ending relationships, redefining careers, or growing businesses while trying to protect their mental health. Together, we focus on strengthening self-trust, setting boundaries, and creating a mindset that supports lasting change. As a therapist and mindset coach, I combine evidence-based tools with forward-focused coaching to help you move from awareness to action — and build the confidence to trust yourself again.
