Emily Morehead, PhD candidate, LPC-S, PMH-C

I work with individuals and couples navigating intimacy, sexuality, and relationship challenges during some of life’s most vulnerable transitions. Many clients seek therapy when communication has broken down, trust has been disrupted by betrayal, or connection feels distant despite wanting the relationship to work.

My approach is attachment-based and grounded in Family Systems therapy, helping clients understand the deeper emotional patterns shaping desire, conflict, and connection. Together, we slow reactive cycles, foster accountability and understanding, and rebuild emotional and sexual intimacy in ways that feel meaningful and sustainable.

I also specialize in supporting reproductive and parenting transitions, including infertility, pregnancy loss, birth trauma, postpartum identity shifts, and evolving family boundaries. Through both my clinical work and research, I am especially passionate about helping clients navigate relational estrangement and the complex process of redefining family relationships with clarity and care.

Therapy with me offers a thoughtful, compassionate space to explore vulnerability, unlearn shame, and reconnect with yourself and the relationships that matter most.

As a therapist, she is not afraid to ask the hard questions while still maintaining a safe and warm environment for her clients. She is our fearless leader, and we are so grateful for her insight, compassion, and empowering advocacy.
