Emma Kuchler, M.Ed., LCSW

It is important to me that I meet my clients where they are at in their healing journey as we work together to process trauma, identify needs, work towards achieving goals, and develop healthy coping skills. I believe that my clients are the experts of their own life experiences, strengths and needs.

The approach I implement is based on each individualized clients needs utilizing a wraparound perspective while applying various therapeutic techniques and modalities. I see the therapeutic process as a true collaboration with my clients and other members of their treatment team.

I strive to create a space of empathy, non-judgment, and respect for the autonomy of my clients. I believe that setbacks don’t signify failure but rather are part of the process, which is critical in helping my clients stay engaged in therapy even when things feel difficult or overwhelming. Healing is not a linear process, and you don’t have to navigate it alone.

With nearly 20 years work in the field of eating disorders I have extensive experience in helping clients navigate the complexities of their eating disorder. I specialize in working with preteens, adolescents, and adults navigating eating disorders, using an individualized approach grounded in CBT, DBT, and harm reduction. Recognizing that recovery is rarely linear, I meet clients where they are while helping them build practical coping skills, increase flexibility, and feel more empowered in their recovery. I value collaborative, whole-person care and work closely with other members of a client’s treatment team when appropriate.
