Emily Somervell, LCSW

My goal is to help individuals achieve personal growth and well-being through the use of a collaborative counseling relationship. Together we will identify your values, explore thinking patterns and emotional barriers that may prevent you from reaching your goals. My approach is practical, empowering, and supportive. I hope to assist clients in understanding and clarifying their values and beliefs as a way to create change. I utilize elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Collaborative Problem Solving and Solution Focused Therapy. I believe that trust and safety are important factors in the therapeutic process. I have completed training to write WPATH letters of support for gender-affirming surgery. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Oregon. I have completed specialized training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and clinical supervision.
