EMILY PITOCCHELLI, LCPC

My goal is to make therapy a welcoming, goal-oriented experience. Every client is different.  Starting where you are, I will tailor our sessions to meet your needs. Most importantly, I create a warm, caring, and calm environment where we can explore your feelings in a safe space. I have an integrative approach drawing from mindfulness-based modalities as well as more traditional practices.  

I specialize in a wide range of issues facing children, teens and adults, including anxiety, depression, learning disabilities, transition to college, grief, and challenges around identity. I enjoy working with parents to build skills to take their parenting to the next level by improving communication and through behavioral interventions to create a more harmonious family environment. 

I have spent the last 7 years as a mental health therapist at Sheppard Pratt, where I worked with a diverse population, offering individual and family therapy to patients ages 8-18 and their parents, as well as to adults. I have experience and training in a range of approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT), and mindfulness modalities. I received my Masters in Counseling from Johns Hopkins University and am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC).

I currently run SPACE parent coaching both individually and in groups.
