Emelia Thygesen

Are you taking care of everyone else but yourself? Do you find that you must keep busy all the time, or else it feels like you’re wasting time? Are the emotions so much bigger than you can handle, and yet people just tell you “it is not that big of a deal.” Is it hard keeping friendships, because you find that you do all the communication. Get the emo playlist ready, and let's dig into that shit together. I can help you to find ways to reduce the hold anxiety and depression has on you. I believe in accessing our whole selves and being holistic. I educate clients on health and how it plays a key role in their mental well being. I encourage routine setting, boundaries, and life adjustments. I have over 10 years experience teaching parenting skills, within the foster car system, and helping clients with adjusting to major life changes. I started my career in psychology and counseling when I experienced a suicide in my family. It gave me the courage to make changes for myself, and help people around me who were also suffering grief, loss, and depression. I'm an advocate of mental health issues, a proud adoptee, and a supporter of the arts.
