Mental Health Services for Lasting Change

Meet Dr. Emily Blitz

Emily Blitz, PsyD

Licensed Clinical Psychologist

Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with almost 10 years of experience providing mental health services. I believe that each person has a unique narrative that should be approached with warmth, compassion, and understanding. Together, we can explore your current concerns, how they came to be, and how you imagine your life to be different. Many of my clients seek to deeply understand their emotional experiences, their attachment style, and their role in relationships. As a relational and psychodynamic psychologist, the strength of the relationship between client and therapist is at the heart of therapeutic change. I strive to be a reliable weekly presence and offer a grounded space where you feel understood, recognized, and safe enough to explore your hopes, fears, feelings, and desires.

Often, people begin therapy for an immediate issue, such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, or even existential concerns. We can explore these feelings, as well as learn a new practice of turning towards, sitting with, and learning from our experiences. We can learn to hold the past and present in new ways, opening ourselves up to belonging, creativity, and lasting change.

Services

I specialize in psychodynamic and attachment-based psychotherapy where I help my clients heal by providing a relaxed and reliable weekly space. Often, symptoms are signs that something deeper internally seeks to be understood.

I provide psychological assessments adults for presentations including ADHD, mood disorders, and general diagnostic clarification. Testing can provide a clear and thoughtful plan for your mental health needs.

I offer consultation services to other mental health professionals wishing to deepen their therapeutic work. Ongoing consultation can provide a rich and nuanced perspective to clinical work.
