Dr. Emily Essid, PsyD

I am a clinical psychologist who supports high-functioning adults in coping with anxiety, burnout, relationship strain, and the complexities of motherhood.

I help high-functioning adults who have learned to manage emotions quietly, carry responsibility for others, and struggle to feel fully seen. Often, there’s a sense that things inside might unravel or internally explode. These patterns can lead to anxiety, burnout, relationship strain, or a disconnection from motherhood. This is where I can help. Together, we can work to help you feel more attuned to yourself. Our work is tailored to your unique needs, whether addressing shorter-term challenges or supporting longer-term growth.

I offer online therapy grounded in psychodynamic and trauma-informed approaches. Together, we explore how current struggles connect to earlier relational patterns and recurring loops, while also building practical skills for emotional regulation, insight, and more flexible ways of responding in daily life and relationships.
My approach is thoughtful and culturally attuned, informed by my multicultural background and doctoral clinical training. My goal is for you to feel genuinely understood while gaining clarity and a stronger connection to yourself. If you are seeking therapy that goes beyond quick fixes, this work may be a good fit.
