Emma Cott

Hutchinson, Kansas - Marriage And Family Therapist
Online

I am a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Kansas. I have been licensed and working since 2012. For the first 6 years of my career, I worked in community mental health settings, working with all ages and stages of life. My primary role was crisis intervention for clients who were unable to keep themselves safe. In 2017, I transitioned into private practice, where I now work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I've worked extensively helping clients manage a variety of issues: depression, anxiety, suicidal thinking, relationship problems, issues around identity, problems with sex and sexuality, work and career issues, social problems, and others. Basically, if you can identify it as an issue, I've probably treated it. My goal - as a clinician and a human - is to normalize the idea of having mental health issues, and empowerment in struggle. Or, as I generally put it, "I'm not ok. You're not ok. And that's ok." I have a strong belief that the first step towards change is acceptance of who we are and where we're at. As psychologist Carl Rogers said, "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself, just as I am, then I can change." My style is warm and supportive, but I will push you when I feel you're ready to be pushed. My goal is to help you meet your goals, and I'll encourage you to do what you've identified you want to do. I use an eclectic approach to therapy, combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, trauma-focused modalities, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, family systems theory, contextual therapy, and interpersonal therapy as the guiding forces of my practice, but there are bits and pieces of others as well. I will pull from whatever I can if I believe it will support you in your journey. I have focused on and trained in trauma-informed care and have a variety of tools to draw on to help you meet your goals. Making the choice to start therapy and begin working on yourself is not an easy choice to make. Congratulations on taking this first step! I look forward to working with you.
