I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Therapist in New Jersey, New York, and Florida offering virtual sessions through my private practice, Emily Austin Therapy. I specialize in working with millennial women struggling with anxiety, Purely Obsessional OCD, and grief.
My clients are primarily experiencing people pleasing tendencies, difficulty setting boundaries, ruminative thinking, and self doubt. I have a specific interest in working with those struggling with Purely Obsessional OCD. I focus on the lesser known subtypes of OCD (obsessions around relationships, sexual orientation, and health, accompanied by mental compulsions). My goal is to help individuals feel more secure, empowered, and to have the ability to sit with uncertainty without acting on their impulses.
My approach is warm and gentle, incorporating humor when appropriate. I use a variety of modalities, including CBT, ERP, and mindfulness. Most of my experience has been in forensic work with victims of trauma, so I come from a trauma-informed and strengths' based approach. I graduated from Quinnipiac University with a BS in sociology and law, and received my Masters in Social Work from Silberman School of Social Worker at Hunter College.
