Emma Van DillenLicensed Professional Counselor, MEd, LPC

About

My approach is rooted in the belief that while some parts of ourselves may create difficulties, no part is inherently "bad." These difficulties may be depression, addiction, anxiety, eating disorders, anger, or other behaviors that keep you feeling stuck and struggling. Many challenges require focused attention, deep understanding, and effective tools. It is my passion to provide the space to slow down and pay attention to one's internal world & life's challenges. Through a supportive, open, and relaxed environment, I help individuals learn to navigate overwhelming, challenging, or frightening internal and external experiences. I use Acceptance Commitment Therapy with aspects of Internal Family Systems and Polyvagal Theory in my counseling. During sessions, we will learn to understand experiences, shift perspectives, and use tools to help gain the peace, confidence, and flexibility needed to live life fully without necessarily having to dredge up the past.
