Emily St. Amour, LMSW

Reaching out for help can be daunting– you want to know that there is someone on the other end with compassion, understanding, and unconditional positive regard. You might feel trapped in cycles of depression, anxiety, impulsivity, shame, dissociation, or self doubt. Particularly for individuals navigating family estrangement or attachment trauma, connecting to your authentic sense of self can feel illusive. I provide a framework for people seeking to better understand themselves– whether healing past trauma, exploring LGBTQIA+ identity, navigating open relationships, or integrating a psychedelic experience. 

Using an integrative approach, I'll help you build confidence, release shame, and be genuine in your relationships and inner life. I also have expertise working with individuals struggling with schizophrenia and/or substance use– seeing you as transcending any diagnosis and supporting you in overcoming the stigma often found within this lived experience.

In our work, you’ll find a safe, collaborative, and compassionate container to process your experiences and move forward. My style is warm, gentle, and nonjudgmental, while also offering clear and direct challenges to help you grow. If you’re ready to begin the journey to meaning and fulfillment, I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation. Currently accepting clients virtually and in-person in Greenpoint.
