Emily Flavin(She/Her/Hers)

Emily Flavin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor located in Warwick, RI who welcomes teenagers, young adults, and adults and LGBTIA/queer identified people into her mental health practice. Many of Emily’s clients have been through trauma or other challenging life experiences. This might impact their sense of overall and general safety, resulting in anxiety, depression, difficulty managing emotions, relationships, and overall sense of well being.

When working with Emily, clients learn more about their unique personal attributes and strengths and how to support themselves in their mental health journey. Sessions are focused on the client’s needs, with an emphasis on building therapeutic tools and developing alternative perspectives to utilize in their lives outside of sessions. Emily works from a psychodynamic model and utilizes therapy modalities such as Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), Polyvagal Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Clients gain perspective about their personal narratives and learn to approach past trauma with a self-compassionate lens. such Lastly, Emily works with clients to stay present in the moment and to observe their thoughts, feelings and experiences with curiosity rather than judgment. 

Emily earned a Master’s degree in Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy from San Francisco State University. She has over 10 years of experience working as a therapist, with a strong belief that her clients hold the key to unlocking health, joy, and meaning. She enjoys providing them with the guidance they need to locate these experiences to make the meaning they seek in their lives in a non judgmental and supportive setting.
