Emily Feingold, LCPC
Therapist (she/her) | Lawrence, Kansas
A therapeutic experience helps us understand and integrate care for ourselves, no matter how messy or confused we feel about our lives, so we can navigate choppy waters and enjoy calm seas. We talk a lot about post-traumatic stress, but it’s also essential to invite post-traumatic growth. If the hard knocks of life stay unaddressed – words unspoken, questions unasked, feelings unnamed and unexpressed – we lose our vitality and become limited to negative patterns. A therapeutic alliance can transform and liberate.
My training emphasized the importance of integrating different modalities to ensure that therapy is tailored to the evolving needs of each client. I am trained and experienced in a range of therapeutic modalities, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Systems Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Gestalt Therapy, self-compassion, and trauma-informed care for nervous system regulation. I provide both in-person and telehealth therapy sessions.
I received my Master’s in Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies in 2014 and am now a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. Before entering private practice at Interpersonal Psychiatry, I completed my practicum at an alternative high school in California, worked as a case manager for children in the foster care system in Kansas, and served as a therapist for incarcerated individuals at the Topeka Correctional Facility. I grew up in New York. Throughout the years, I’ve lived in Ohio, Arizona, and California.
I live in Lawrence with my daughter, our cat, our hens, and a rotating jungle of houseplants. The jungle has extended to my office at Interpersonal Psychiatry, including a fern who seems to be aspiring to be my cotherapist.
