"I help adults with adolescent and complex trauma process their past to find peace in the present.”
Emily Dillon, LCSW, PPSC
Are you a tired millennial ready to break generational curses and let go of toxic patterns that no longer serve you? Are you feeling stuck, stagnant, not sure how to break away from self-defeating behaviors and anxious thoughts? Are you ready to stop letting your past trauma and childhood hurt rule how you feel about yourself now? You want to set boundaries and let go of all the unnecessary pressure and expectations weighing you down. You want to feel unburdened, to quiet the noise, and find peace and fulfillment in the here and now. If any of this resonates, I can help you get there.
Hi, I'm Emily!
I’m a compassionate, warm, millennial therapist with over a decade of clinical experience, providing safe and authentic space for those looking to heal from complex trauma and anxiety, and cope with chronic health issues. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming, sex positive, & body positive.
I use a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Somatic and Mindfulness-based approaches to support my clients. You will find our sessions to be conversational, egalitarian, and collaborative.

As someone who has navigated my own trauma, anxiety, & chronic/invisible illness, I know safe space is the key to healing, and that it's created through genuine and compassionate human relationships. My warm and accepting disposition has allowed me to create a safe space for those around me to share, process, and show up authentically. For many years, I applied these qualities, working clinically with children, teens, adults, parents, and families in the public school system. It has been my pleasure to continue my career in private practice, applying my wealth of clinical experience and my nurturing characteristics to support individuals in my practice.
I received my Master of Social Welfare (MSW) at UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs in 2016, and previously served as a vocational educator at the Downtown Women’s Center. On the weekends you can find me thrifting for treasures, exploring a new trail or campsite with my family, and, in the summer, raising butterflies in my backyard.
