Meet Emily

Emily Ladd, LCSW- Psychotherapist

Hi! I'm Emily. I specialize in Trauma, ADHD, Anxiety & Burnout. I work with high-functioning adult women who look like they have it all together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, disconnected, or stuck underneath.

Maybe you're capable, driven, and used to figuring things out on your own—but you're exhausted from constantly overthinking, compensating, achieving, caretaking, or holding everything together. You may be navigating ADHD, anxiety, burnout, trauma, relationship difficulties, or simply a growing sense that the way you've been living isn't sustainable anymore.

Therapy can be a place to slow down and begin to understand what your body and nervous system truly need to thrive —not just to manage symptoms.

Together, we'll work to slow down and listen to what your body tells us —moving towards feeling grounded, connected, and alive again.

My Approach:

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that your symptoms make sense in the context of what you've experienced.

I primarily draw from EMDR, parts work, somatic and nervous-system-based approaches, and attachment-based therapy. Rather than solely analyzing what's wrong, we'll feel into what is happening in your body, mind, emotions, and relationships. 

I want therapy to be a place where you can process and deeply feel into your experiences, while also developing practical ways to feel more regulated, connected, and present in your life.

Fee: $165/ 50 minute session

A little about me:

I am LGBTQ+ and Neurodivergent affirming. Outside of therapy, I'm happiest outside—usually climbing, running, exploring somewhere new, seeing live music, or spending time with my little dog, Jamón. I live and work out of my van, traveling all over Colorado. I provide virtual online therapy to Colorado residents.
