"I help adults with adolescent and complex trauma process their past to find peace in the present.”
Emily Dillon, LCSW, PPSC
Are you burnt out? Do you want to let go of the past, the perfectionism, the people-pleasing? Do you want freedom from toxic relationships, from energy & expectations that no longer serve you? So you want to enjoy your life in the here and now but struggle under the weight of anxiety & familial pressure?
If this resonates it’s likely you experienced dysfunctional or even abusive family dynamics growing up and are still in the process of healing. You deserve to live a life free from the burden of trauma--to heal, build healthy relationships, break generational patterns, improve self-esteem, establish clear boundaries, & love the life you've built.
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. 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 worked through my own trauma and anxiety, I know safe space is key, 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.
