Emily Skahill, LCSW

I believe every person has the ability to improve themselves and their lives, sometimes they just need a little assistance. I am extremely passionate about helping each person I work with to find confidence in themselves and develop the motivation to become the person they wish to be. I strive to create a safe and warm environment for individuals to feel comfortable exploring every aspect of their thoughts, feelings, behaviors and experience. I believe it is important to work with each person to develop individualized strategies to aid in their journey to become their best version of themselves.
