Therapist & Owner
My name is Emily Brewster and I am a
Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW).
​
I believe therapy is an opportunity to explore, heal, and grow.
My style is warm, compassionate, and collaborative.
​
My aim is to reduce human suffering and honor the values
of each individual, while empowering them with
tools to cultivate change, meaning, and purpose in life.

About Me.
I have called the Pacific Northwest home for most my life. I am grateful to be a wife, mother, friend, and colleague to the most wonderful souls in my life.
​
I am an Army Veteran who served as a Mental Health Technician (where my pursuit and love of Social Work began). Prior to starting my practice, I provided therapy, & support services across diverse settings and populations, but serving teens & adults in their recovery is near and dear to my heart. I have experience caring for folks in military mental health systems, outpatient care, schools, & inpatient & intensive psychiatric care. I have also trained as a Grief & Death Doula.
I am passionate about serving individuals recovering from complex trauma, OCD, and loss. Watching my clients revitalize their sense of self and release years of shame is inspiring and the greatest reward. In my free time, I enjoy traveling in my RV, listening to audio-books, cooking, collecting rocks, and laughing a ton with friends and family.
I have been honored to encounter the most unique,
resilient, and courageous humans in my work thus far.
