Emily Collings , LCPC, LPC

Emily Collings is a licensed counselor who brings a values-centered, affirming approach to therapy. They identify as feminist, neurodiversity-affirming, queer and trans-affirming, fat-affirming, and aligned with disability justice, and they focus on helping people live in ways that reflect their deepest values while healing from external and internalized oppression. With four years of clinical experience, Emily works with a broad range of concerns including eating and food-related issues, body image, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, and addiction. They also address issues related to attachment and abandonment, ADHD and autism, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, fertility challenges, gender dysphoria, and forgiveness.

Emily’s practice is grounded in person-centered principles and feminist perspectives, creating space for clients to share their stories without shame or judgment. They also draw on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and regularly integrate self-compassion practices, expressive arts, philosophical reflection and elements of pop culture, and self-advocacy skill-building into their work. Emily holds LCPC and LPC credentials - licensed counselor qualifications that reflect clinical training and state licensure - and practices in Pennsylvania. Their approach emphasizes respect for each person’s identity and lived experience while supporting practical steps toward healing and meaningful change.
