Parental Challenges and Family Dynamics

A native of New Orleans, Emily Buse holds a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from Holy Cross University. She is currently a PLPC working under the supervision of April Ivy, LPC-S. After taking some personal time to be a full time mom, she is thrilled to be back seeing clients again. She specializes in working with adults struggling mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, addiction, grief, and women’s health and, since having added motherhood to her repertoire, she has also developed a passion for working with mothers navigating postpartum.

She approaches counseling from a person-centered, eclectic and holistic perspective, using a blend of cognitive behavioral, existential, solution-focused, and psychoeducation, with an aim to create a warm and inviting space, free from judgment or expectation. She chooses to focus on clients strengths, while also identifying areas for growth so as to empower clients to overcome personal obstacles. By redirecting clients’ negative thinking patterns towards healthier outlooks, the goal of her approach is that they may learn to navigate their circumstance from a different perspective. She is steadfast in the belief that there is always hope and that no mistake in life can’t be undone.
