Emily Vanichtheeranont, MS

Healing thrives in spaces where you're not just heard but deeply understood. My approach to counseling is rooted in compassion, respect, and a deep commitment to providing client-centered care. I work with clients from all walks of life, focusing on holistic and integrative mental health healing that honors each person’s unique story and strengths. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Human Development and Family Sciences from The Ohio State University, and I am currently pursuing my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the Illinois Institute of Technology.

Alongside my academic training, I’m certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Suicide Prevention and Awareness, and HIPAA Mental Health Training, which support my trauma-informed and culturally responsive approach. As a counselor-in-training, I am dedicated to tailoring the therapeutic experience to your needs, preferences, and goals. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, ACT, and Person-Centered Therapy, always guided by your pace and what feels most helpful to you.

At the core of my work are values of empathy, curiosity, kindness, and growth. I strive to create a nonjudgmental, collaborative space where you can safely explore your inner world, navigate life’s challenges, and connect more deeply with your authentic self.
