Emerson Rothwell, LICSW (he/they)

(*Not taking on new therapy clients at this time- always available for letters)

​

Hello, I'm Emerson! I'm a multiracial, queer, trans and neurodivergent therapist & clinical consultant, and I specialize in providing inclusive therapy to 2SLGBTQIA+ and queer individuals. The majority of my clients at Pride Counseling Solutions are non-binary, trans or gender expansive, and many are also neurodivergent.

 

I believe in the importance of self-acceptance and self-compassion. As a result, I bring my genuine self to session, so you can feel comfortable unmasking or being authentic in our work together. My goal is to create a safe, affirming space where you can be you and feel seen and heard.

​

I enjoy incorporating geek culture into therapy sessions, and I will sometimes use metaphors or references to help you connect with your emotions and experiences in a way that is meaningful to you. 

​

As a therapist of lived experience, I'm sensitive to the impact of intersectionality, power, and oppression on communities and individual experiences. I work through anti-racist, social justice, and trauma-informed lenses, and I strive to recognize and acknowledge the multiple layers of discrimination and privilege that can impact the way we move through the world. 

 

I enjoy the work that I do, and I would be honored to support you on your journey to healing as you explore your identity, realize your strengths, or decide how to live your best life.​
