Emily Purdy

My Approach
My Name is Emily (she/her) and I am passionate about finding peace and balance in life’s contradictions. I help clients to embrace that change is both constant and inevitable, and that opposites can coexist and be integrated to bring us closer to our truths. I am committed to helping you navigate life’s challenges by cultivating a space where you can strive for more: more joy, more self-compassion, more love, more patience, more calmness, and more fulfilment, while also accepting and celebrating who you are now and how you’re showing up today. I approach the therapeutic process as a collaborative journey, meeting you wherever you are at, while also establishing a foundation for achieving both short-term and long-term goals.

Grounded in curiosity and exploration, I pull from a variety of therapeutic approaches, making our work together adaptable to fit your personal needs and goals. I have worked in both public and private spaces and have gratefully walked alongside a diverse range of individuals, couples, and families through their respective journeys to wellness, healing, growth, and transformation. We will use Attachment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, EMDR, and Narrative Therapy to accomplish your goals and beyond. I guide people through past, present, and future challenges, using desire for change as a tool to more deeply understand ourselves, our relationships to others, and the world around us.

Welcome to therapy—it’s ugly and it’s beautiful, and even though those things don’t go together, they totally go together.
