I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist who integrates clinical expertise with Christian values to support emotional healing, resilience, and personal growth. I believe that true healing occurs when mind, body, and spirit are nurtured together. My work focuses on helping clients manage stress, regulate emotions and move forward with hope, faith, and intention while honoring each individual's unique journey.

I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of South Florida and my graduate studies at the University of South Carolina. Throughout my career, I have served diverse populations, including children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and older adults. Services are provided to individuals who are physically in the states of SC, FL, GA, PA and OH.

In my spare time I enjoy traveling and spending quality time with my family and friends.

I explore a patient's need for external validation and identify old, negative motivators used to inspire achievement-based goals. I teach self-care and self-regulating practices while modeling healthy attunement. Together, we explore conflict-avoidant behaviors and healthy dependency. Being a highly sensitive person is not a weakness but an empathic strength. I explore the guilt, shame, and fear that cause "analysis paralysis." I analyze unhealthy habits and teach clients to build trust and reconnect with a traumatic body that no longer trusts. You are the expert and I am your guide.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience working with adults. I approach therapy as a relational process, not a place where you come to be fixed. You’re not a problem to solve; you’re a person with a history, patterns that make sense, and a way of being in the world that developed for a reason.

Welcome! I’m Emily, the founder and sole clinician at North of Now Therapy. I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy for adults navigating anxiety, grief, infertility, and life transitions.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Pittsburgh and hold a Master of Social Work from Loyola University Chicago. I am licensed to practice in Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Michigan.

Over the years, I’ve worked in a variety of settings including schools, community mental health clinics, and private practice. These experiences have allowed me to support individuals from diverse backgrounds as they navigate complex emotional and psychological challenges.

I have 30+ years as an experienced counselor in a variety of settings. I have worked over the years in home, school, community, residential, hospital and outpatient settings. My therapy is based on a Gestalt approach as well as advanced trainings in Bipolar, DBT, and nutrition and mental health, strength-based therapy, and relationship dynamics. I love to use visualization techniques as well as incorporate current research solutions, workbooks, and training materials into my current practice.

I am a triple board-certified psychiatrist specializing in Child, Adolescent, Adult, and Perinatal Psychiatry, as well as Obesity Medicine. I am a medical doctor who trained at Albert Einstein Medical Center (General Psychiatry residency) and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital (Child and Adolescent Psychiatry fellowship), where I served as chief resident and chief fellow. My practice, Dona Wellness Clinic, primarily utilizes telepsychiatry to offer accessible, compassionate, and inclusive care to individuals across Florida, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington D.C., and North Carolina. Approach to Providing Care.

I have training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). I incorporate mindfulness-based approaches and advocate for whole-person wellness.

My core belief is that healing happens when we reconnect our minds and our bodies. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Somatic Therapy to help you uncover the deeply ingrained, harmful patterns that may be holding you back. By understanding these dynamics, we can work together to reframe negative cycles into intentional, more supportive choices.

I look forward to meeting with you to help you to identify and understand your problems. I will guide you through healthy coping, self-care, and improved relationships.

Do you feel held back by experiences you can't seem to move on from? Do you know your goals, but struggle to find the path to get there? Are you looking for a space to better understand yourself, your past, and the person you want to be in the future?

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in trauma recovery, depression, anxiety, and substance use. I am here to help you dive into understanding not only how to grow in the present, but also what pieces have come together to create the person you are today. We don't exist in a vacuum, therefore I take a holistic approach that works with the confluence of mental, social, and cultural factors surrounding each individual.

One of the most difficult parts of therapy is choosing to begin. Congratulations for making it this far. I would be overjoyed to walk alongside you as you continue on this journey of growth and self-love.
