Mental Health Services for Lasting Change

Meet Dr. Emily Blitz

Emily Blitz, PsyD, PMH-C

Welcome! I’m a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 10 years of experience providing mental health care. I specialize in insight-oriented, psychodynamic therapy. Drawing on advanced training in both psychodynamic psychotherapy and perinatal mental health, I’ve developed a meaningful understanding of the emotional experiences and attachment dynamics that arise during the formative period of childhood and how they can impact us as adults. I approach each person’s story with warmth, compassion, and understanding, helping clients explore both immediate concerns and deeper themes such as emotional experiences, attachment styles, and family-of-origin dynamics. As a relational and psychodynamic psychologist, I believe the strength of the therapeutic relationship is central to meaningful change. I strive to be a consistent, reliable presence and offer a grounded space where you feel seen, safe, and supported to explore deeper feelings.

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 practice of slowing down, leaning into, and learning from our experiences. We can understand the past and present in new ways, finding connection, belonging, and lasting change.

About Me

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 specialize in supportive and empowering individual therapy for expectant mothers and postpartum women at every stage of their perinatal journey. Although I primarily work with women, I welcome parents of all genders. Parenthood can stir up a lot of feelings, both new and old. You’re not alone – let’s take the next step together.

I offer professional consultation to clinicians seeking support in psychodynamic case conceptualization and relational treatment planning. With trauma-informed care and cultural humility, my consultation helps therapists deepen their clinical insight and enhance therapeutic effectiveness.
