Emily Bhandari, LCSW

Emily's support has been life changing for me. I came in struggling with PTSD, anxiety, and depression, as well as many upsetting triggers that made life difficult. Within a little over a year, these triggers have mostly been alleviated and my quality of life greatly improved. Emily's gentle guidance and warmth made the experience of working through traumatic memories so much easier. I always left feeling lighter than I did entering the room. If you are considering her as a therapist, I say go for it 100%.

Working with Emily was such a joy. I started seeing Emily when my anxiety / panic was interfering with my daily life. We were only able to work together for about 8 months due to me moving out of state, but during that time she helped me immensely. She taught me techniques to put panic at ease when it would arise, and made me feel so seen / heard when speaking about my anxieties. I didn’t even know what EMDR was before working with Emily, nor did I even realize it’s what she specialized in when we started working together. However, it was exactly what I needed to deal with my triggers and family dynamic causing these patterns in my life. I cannot recommend Emily enough, and I hope I can work with her again some day! She is kind, caring, easy to talk to, a great listener, and so incredibly empathetic. Thank you for everything, Emily!!

I worked with Emily on and off for over a year. I first saw her after the birth of my second child, when anxious thoughts were getting in the way of my day to day life. Emily helped me manage my feelings and process the triggers that stirred up my anxiety through EDMR and talking through my challenges. Beyond the help with my PPA, she helped sort through familial and relationship issues, and helped me when I was navigating a toxic workplace. Emily was everything I needed in a therapist: calm, patient, thoughtful, intelligent, and insightful. She was an incredible listener, made me feel seen/heard, and offered techniques that were easy to implement and effective. Due to an out of state move, I am unable to work with Emily any more, but I could not recommend her enough as a therapist.

I met with Emily weekly over the course of about six months. Emily was absolutely wonderful. She was patient and understanding and totally empathetic. She was a great listener and made it a really easy environment to open up and share really hard details. She takes time to explain every step of the process and time to work with you so that you understand and feel comfortable every step of the way. I would recommend her over and over again as I truly believe she's one of the best.

Emily was a crucial part of helping me work through the grief of a loved one. She also helped me maintain control over my ADHD symptoms. Emily is thoughtful, kind and intelligent. She is always extremely thorough and flexible with my busy schedule. I saw Emily for about a year and every session I felt comfortable enough to be honest with myself and her without fear of judgment.

Emily helped me address severe work-related anxiety. For the first time, I tried EMDR to reprocess some traumatic work events that were hindering me professionally. After a few sessions, we were effective in reframing those experiences and moving me past old thinking patterns and into a more resilient mindset. Emily is kind, warm, thoughtful, and purposeful in our time together. In a fairly short time, I felt more confident and empowered, free from some of the constraints I had carried with me a

Emily helped me work through the most difficult and painful season of my life. After reaching out, she made time to see me immediately and started a plan to get me through the following months. With Emily's help, I am not only feeling healed from my dark time, but doing so much better than before it. If you are struggling with any part of your life, looking for feedback on how to improve a situation, or just need someone to talk to, I strongly encourage you to reach out to Emily!

I had a very nice experience working with Emily! She is very thorough, action plan oriented and this style helped me make good progress with the challenges I was dealing with. I would highly recommend Emily.

I've struggled with anxiety and panic attacks throughout my life. I've tried therapy before but I didn't ever find it helpful for different reasons each time. My anxiety was getting pretty bad, so I contacted Emily and she responded immediately and helped me to schedule an appointment as soon as I needed. The therapy sessions were exceptional and I am in a much better place now because of her. If you're struggling, I highly recommend contacting Emily; she is an exceptional therapist and person.
