Emily Parker holds a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology. She is a Washington State Licensed Mental Healthcare Associate. Her practice centers on an experiential, relational, and somatically attuned approach to healing. Rather than merely analyzing distress intellectually, Emily helps clients track what is happening in real time—in the body, the nervous system, and relationship—to foster lasting, embodied change.
Emily is especially drawn to trauma integration, deep grief work, and family-of-origin healing. Whether clients carry profound loss, unintegrated wounds, or inherited family blueprints that hinder connection, she offers a steady anchor to process sorrow and dismantle protective defenses. By exploring these roots with curiosity and care, she helps individuals honor their pain, break generational cycles, and rebuild authentic connection.
Her practice is backed by advanced clinical training, including Certified Clinical Partner Specialist-Associate (APSATS), Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist Candidate (IITAP), EMDR (EMDRIA-trained), Emotionally Focused Therapy Externship trained (EFT), Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Level 1), Early Recovery Couples Empathy Model trained (ERCEM) and Certified Couples Betrayal Recovery Therapist Candidate (IITAP).
Emily guides clients through the complexities of betrayal trauma and compulsive sexual behaviors. She can also provide therapeutic disclosures for those who have had a rupture in relationship with betrayal trauma and problematic sexual behaviors.
Before entering the counseling room, Emily spent a decade as a Reserve Army combat medic, career firefighter, and nurse. That background in acute physiological care deeply informs her understanding of nervous system regulation under distress. Paired with her own lived resilience and deep healing from betrayal trauma and problematic sexual behaviors, she brings a calm, unflinching, and non-judgmental presence to the room. Believing that effective care stems from personal integrity, she continually engages in her own healing journey to ensure she offers clients a grounded, authentic therapeutic presence. While personally anchored in the Christian faith, Emily warmly honors clients of all spiritual backgrounds, holding a space where every belief system is met with dignity and respect.
Outside the office, Emily is deeply supported by her husband Cody Parker (Life Coach and Counseling psychology student) and energized by parenting their spirited tween aged daughter. She loves outdoor adventures, singing, dancing, self-care, and savoring life with family and friends.
