Emily Boening, LPC-A, NCC

Welcome! I am a licensed professional counselor - associate and nationally certified counselor working in Columbia, SC.

Working through challenges can be overwhelming whether you’re starting therapy for the first time, jumping back in, or looking for a change in your clinician. As someone who has sat on both sides of the therapist’s office, I understand the discomfort of growth. It is my hope to create a welcoming and safe environment where you feel empowered to tell your story and own it.Working through challenges can be overwhelming whether you’re starting therapy for the first time, jumping back in, or looking for a change in your clinician.

My areas of interest include LGBTQ+ identities, women’s health, mood and anxiety disorders, and chronic illness/physical disabilities. I also enjoy supporting individuals through their transition from adolescence to adulthood, especially as they progress through higher education.
At the core of my practice, I believe that each individual is the expert of their own experiences, and I strive to create a collaborative and empowering therapeutic relationship. I recognize that recovery and wellness are unique to each person, and I tailor my approach to meet your specific needs.
