Emily Farnum, LCSW is a psychotherapist in private practice in New Canaan, CT. Emily Farnum provides counseling to adolescents, adults and couples.
As a psychotherapist, I feel privileged to work with people as they explore the life challenges that bring them to treatment. I understand that it takes courage and vulnerability to take the first steps to contact a clinician and come to therapy. It is important to me that you feel safe during our work and that our collaboration is a good match for you. A positive therapeutic relationship creates the opportunity for insight, growth and fulfillment.
I am an interactive therapist, who facilitates a treatment environment that is empathic, warm and supportive. I treat adolescents, adults and couples and provide both short and long-term treatment.
Some patients enter therapy looking to explore relationship patterns, overcome emotional conflicts and attain greater authenticity and self-awareness. Others present during a time of crisis or come searching for increased satisfaction from career or relationship difficulties. I don’t believe in subscribing to a particular mode of therapy. People are as individual as the circumstances that bring them to treatment. I prefer to pull from a range of modalities based on the situation at hand.
Areas of treatment include:
Anxiety
Depression
Trauma and PTSD
Perinatal and Postpartum Women's Mental Health Issues
Relationship Difficulties and Divorce
Eating and Body Image
Life and Career Transitions
