I'm Dr. Emily Morehead, a psychotherapist, researcher, clinical supervisor, and professor specializing in relationships, attachment, sexual health, and the emotional patterns that shape how we connect.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and thoughtfully direct. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel deeply understood and where you feel supported in examining the patterns, protective strategies, and relational dynamics that may be keeping you stuck.

Individual Therapy
The relationships that shaped you don't have to define you. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, family estrangement, grief, or life transitions, individual therapy offers space to understand yourself more deeply.
Through attachment-informed and relational therapy, we'll explore family-of-origin patterns, boundaries, identity, and self-trust, helping you build the life and relationships that you desire.
Sex Therapy and Intimacy Counseling
Sexual connection is complex, personal, and deeply connected to emotional well-being. I provide specialized sex therapy for individuals and partners experiencing mismatched desire, intimacy concerns, sexual communication difficulties, sexual trauma, and relationship disconnection. It can be hard to ask for help and talk about sex and intimacy, but my experience and years of education specializing in this work allows individuals and partners the opportunity to who are hoping to rebuild and reignite their sexual relationship.
My approach integrates advanced sexual health training with compassionate, evidence-informed care to help you navigate vulnerability, reduce shame, and cultivate more fulfilling intimate relationships.
Fertility Support
The journey to parenthood isn't always what you imagined. Infertility, IVF, pregnancy loss, reproductive trauma, and family-building challenges can profoundly impact your emotional well-being, relationships, identity, and sexual intimacy.
With over a decade of clinical experience supporting individuals and couples navigating fertility challenges, I provide specialized fertility counseling, infertility therapy, and reproductive mental health support. Whether you're trying to conceive (TTC), undergoing fertility treatments, navigating pregnancy or postpartum, pursuing adoption, or adjusting to parenthood, our work focuses on processing reproductive grief, strengthening relationships, rebuilding trust in your body, and navigating identity transitions.
Family Therapy
Family relationships can be a source of deep connection, but also conflict, stress, and emotional pain. Whether you're navigating parent-child conflict, communication challenges, family estrangement, blended family dynamics, parenting disagreements, or major life transitions, family therapy offers a space to strengthen relationships and create meaningful change. I help families understand intergenerational patterns, establish healthy boundaries, rebuild trust, and develop more effective communication. Together, we explore the dynamics shaping your family relationships while honoring each person's experiences and needs.

As a therapist, she is not afraid to ask the hard questions while still maintaining a safe and warm environment for her clients.
