Emily Martin Clinical Intern

(she/her)

Emily Martin is a second year Master of Couples and Family Therapy (MACFT) student at Seattle University. As a happily neurodivergent human, it is her goal to help free clients from the “should's” that often prevent us from living our best lives. She has an undergraduate degree in theater and a decade of experience in education. Most of that time was spent working with toddlers, learning how humans develop the early building blocks of emotional regulation.

Through her studies at Seattle U, Emily M works with many different therapeutic modalities but is continually drawn toward narrative approaches. She is always looking for stories. She is often questioning stories, too — seeing where they might bend or fall apart entirely and seeing where there is room to create new stories. 

Emily M has endless respect for children and their parents. She hopes to create opportunities for children to experience genuine collaboration in getting their needs met and for their parents to be heard and upheld with the utmost admiration and care. 

Emily M is also non-monogamy affirming and happy to work with clients navigating their feelings about love, sex, and relationships.

In session, you can expect Emily to have a soft voice and a quiet, peaceful energy. 

Outside of sessions, Emily loves to bike commute, make dinners with friends, sew/mend/upcycle, and practice aerial silks!
