Hey there!
My name is Emily Gary and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in North Carolina. I have a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from The University of Southern Mississippi and a Ph.D. in Human Development with a concentration in Marriage and Family Therapy from Virginia Tech.
I have specialized training in Emotionally Focused Therapy and sex therapy, and I use them as well as my training in other therapeutic models to help my clients in their healing journeys. I am LGBTQIA+, kink, poly, and sex work friendly and welcoming.
I really value being open with clients about the therapy process. If you ever have a question about how it works, ask me! I will tell you what I know and tell you my reasons for any question I ask or assignment I assign. It's important to me that my clients feel like they are in charge of their healing process, and that they know that therapy is a safe place for them to be themselves.
When I'm not working, I like to spend time with my family and make pottery. I even have a pottery wheel at home! I'm also a dog person and a bit of an iced coffee fiend.
