Emily Newcomb, LPC

she/her

Hello! I am glad you are here. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who received my Master's degree in Counselor Education at Radford University. Since then I have spent several years working with both adults and children whose life experiences have resulted in depression, attachment concerns, insecurities, and difficulty with interpersonal relationships. I love using creative ways to connect with others and begin the healing process, including music, art, nature, and movement. I utilize trauma-informed care with all of my clients and I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Person Centered Therapy, along with other treatment modalities. I offer both in person and telehealth appointments.

I am passionate about and enjoy working with adolescents, utilizing play therapy techniques as appropriate. Building a trusting relationship is important when working with both adolescents and adults, and I love thinking outside of the box when developing therapeutic relationships. I provide flexible hours that can work with school or extra-curricular activities. I am also passionate about working with prenatal/postnatal individuals. Whether you are wanting a family, trying for a family, celebrating a pregnancy, mourning a loss, or walking through parenthood, I would love to walk along beside you and support you in your journey. Postpartum anxiety and depression are often overlooked, despite their serious impact, and this something I would love to work with you on, whether it’s for you or your partner.

I believe spirituality can be an important part of life, and oftentimes leads to a supportive community. However, if your experiences with spirituality have not been positive, therapy can be a great tool to utilize throughout your healing journey. I strive to live a value-driven life rather than a goal-driven life. My hope is that through our time together, you learn more about yourself, what you value, and how to align those two things, so that you feel fulfilled and successful in your day to day life.
