Meet Emily Wagner
-
Clients often share that I ground them in the present moment and help them notice how their patterns play out, even within the therapy room. My interpersonal approach allows my clients to witness how their relationship with me can be a starting point for them to practice the change they want to bring into their lives.
-
The first step towards change is often the hardest. When you commit to therapy, sometimes things feel worse before they feel better. This is because you start to notice how patterns play out in all areas of life. It can feel overwhelming but having a supportive and encouraging therapist is so important during this time to make sure you do not feel alone in your pain.
-
I am a therapist because I believe that listening to people’s stories is the most valuable thing we can do in life. My whole life, I have always been curious to understand people and I feel lucky to be trusted with people’s most vulnerable moments.
-
I spent most of my life focusing on everyone around me and people pleasing all day long. I continue to challenge myself and pour maximum effort into getting to know myself outside of my people pleasing tendencies to understand how I can become a more authentic version of myself every day. I have also gone through quite a bit of identity development in recent years and I feel this can really help me understand clients who might be feeling lost of alone when they start therapy.
-
“No Bad Parts” by Richard Schwartz has been one of the most impactful reads for me. I really enjoy the Internal Family Systems model and understanding each human as a collection of parts, so if you work with me, you might hear me talk more about these ideas.
-
Lately, I have been working on communicating more directly and clearly to combat some of my people pleasing tendencies. I also have been more open to feedback from people who are close to me and have been recognizing that we are all human. Growth is not linear. I am always looking to better understand myself and how I can get closer to the most authentic version of me.
