Emily Kline, LMSW

Accepting virtual clients only

As a clinical therapist, my goal is to create a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space for you to be fully yourself. Together, we can explore the patterns, experiences, and beliefs that may be keeping you stuck and develop practical tools to help you feel more grounded, connected, and empowered in your life.

I utilize a holistic, trauma-informed approach that recognizes the connection between the mind and body. As a registered yoga teacher, I bring a unique understanding of how stress and difficult experiences can affect us not only emotionally, but physically as well. In therapy, I incorporate mindfulness, grounding techniques, breathwork, and body-based somatic practices to help you reconnect with yourself and develop a greater sense of safety and regulation in your body.

I have a particular interest working with people who have spent a lot of their lives taking care of others, striving to be “good enough,” or feeling responsible for everyone around them. If you find yourself constantly putting others’ needs before your own, struggling to say no, or holding yourself to impossibly high standards, therapy can be a space to explore where these patterns come from and learn a different way of relating to yourself and others.

I also support clients navigating grief and loss, major life transitions, caregiver stress, interpersonal and relational difficulties, and patterns of codependency. I enjoy helping clients work through people-pleasing and perfectionistic patterns in order to develop healthier boundaries and cultivate greater self-compassion and a stronger sense of self.

Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, stuck in familiar patterns, or simply exhausted from trying to hold everything together, therapy can be an opportunity to slow down, turn inward, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself. My hope is that our work together helps you to build greater self-awareness, resilience, and confidence, while creating a life that feels more authentic and sustainable.
