Emily Vulcano, MA, MSW, LCSW

You may be high-achieving and capable, which looks good from the outside but feels exhausting on the inside. You might put a lot of pressure on yourself, overthink how others perceive you, or find yourself people-pleasing even when it means ignoring your own needs. Maybe you’re highly sensitive or socially anxious and spend more time thinking about your interactions than you’d like. I work with adults aged 21 and older who are introspective, curious about themselves, and ready to better understand the patterns shaping how they think, feel, and connect with others.

My approach is relational, psychodynamic, and mindful, exploring how past experiences, relationships, and your nervous system shape how you move through the world. I also offer EMDR and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) for trauma-focused work, helping you process experiences that may be difficult to access through talk therapy alone.

Therapy with me is conversational, collaborative, and grounded in real life. I’ll listen, offer empathy, and make space for the hard stuff, but also challenge you and call out patterns when it’s helpful. There’s also room for humor and not taking ourselves too seriously. We’ll work together to better understand you and create change that feels meaningful.
