You are more than what happened to you

Emily Spillios, MSW, LCSW
Clinical Therapist

​

I’m Emily, a licensed psychotherapist and Clinical Social Worker with a specialization in healthcare from Aurora University. I have extensive experience across various levels of care—including inpatient psychiatric settings, residential treatment, PHP/IOP, and community mental health—I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals facing co-occurring disorders, addiction, eating disorders, and trauma.

 

Through my work with complex cases, I have observed that many challenges are deeply rooted in trauma and systemic issues.

 

Choosing to engage in counseling is a courageous step toward personal growth and emotional healing. It signifies a recognition of the need for support and a readiness to navigate the intricacies of one’s inner world. This journey requires self-compassion, as it involves confronting vulnerabilities, acknowledging past experiences, and opening oneself to the possibility of positive change.

 

In my practice, I foster a safe and nurturing environment where individuals can explore their emotions, uncover the origins of their challenges, and embark on a path toward transformation and resilience. Together, we can work towards achieving your personal goals and enhancing your overall well being.
