Accepting new clients! Hello, my name is Emily Sacher and I am a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor based out of Baltimore, MD. I am committed to empowering adults to navigate the complex challenges in their lives. My priority is to provide an authentic, safe space in which clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences on their journey to a more joyful, peaceful, and fulfilling life.

I am a Clinical Psychologist specializing in work with children, adolescents and their families. I provide comprehensive psychological evaluations and consultations. I also provide therapy services to address emotional and behavioral concerns, such as those associated with ADHD, Anxiety, and Depression.

I am a fee-for-service licensed psychologist. I provide a VIP type care experience by easy accessibility, scheduling, and staying in contact with clients between visits via text and email. Over years of practice we diagnose and treat adults, adolescents with complex ADHD and executive function deficits and complex OCD by developing an individualized success plan. These disorders create a "Ground Hog Day " of self-limiting behaviors. We coach you how to resolve conflicts that cause anxiety, depression, stress by accurate self-awareness (understanding and managing ourselves), new ways of thinking, and building effective communication.

"Help! My stress is over the top!" Have you found yourself thinking this? Are you facing difficult circumstances? Is stress from events in the world, or concerns about oppression and privilege, affecting you and/or your relationships? Is it harder to meet your commitments to family, friends, and/or groups and causes you care about? I specialize in helping adults, adolescents and families draw upon their strengths, solve problems, and develop new understanding and new skills.

I practice from a strengths based perspective and want to help clients realize their own goals while providing validation and coping strategies among other tools.

Are you looking for a safe & nonjudgmental space to explore, heal, & grow? If so, you’re in the right place! My primary focus is working with adult women who are seeking help with women’s issues, sex, pleasure, self-esteem, & stress. Due to my background in crisis intervention, I have experience working with a variety of concerns, allowing me to better serve clients through many stages & transitions in life. I strive to maintain a practice that is LGBTQIA+ inclusive, sex & kink positive, poly & ENM affirmative, HAES aligned, fat positive, pagan-friendly, & neuroaffirming while striving towards anti-racism & decolonizing my practice.

Those who I work with have forgotten who they are and went in search of themselves through something - or someone - else. When that happens they seemingly try to find a way back to their authentic Self through synthetic means. Inevitably that pursuit will fail and the self abuse with substances begins.

Feeling like you are not living a life that is authentic to your sense of Self can leave you feeling like you are not living a life of purpose. "Who am I, or I am more than this, or I don't know who I am suppose to be" are words that can leave you feeling lost, empty, and full of fear. That fear can manifest in anger, abuse, violence and self-loathing. Through working with me, I can help you learn to love yourself, surrender negative thoughts and teach you how to get to your best Self.

I am a passionate, dedicated social worker with over 10 years experience providing clinical services to population with severe and persistent mental illness, co-occurring disorders, providing support, advocating, linking patients to services and completing intake/psychosocial assessments

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the fear of social situations when you hang out with friends and say something you regret? Have you ever felt like no matter how much you prepare, the anxiety of interacting with others paralyzes you? Do you find yourself avoiding social gatherings, meetings, or even casual conversations because of the intense worry and self-doubt that accompanies them? If these experiences resonate with you, you may be dealing with social anxiety or phobia. The constant fear of judgment and the anticipation of embarrassment can make everyday interactions feel daunting, leaving you isolated and longing for connection.

The mere thought of therapy can be daunting, while in actuality most of us ask for advice from those around us everyday. What makes therapy different from asking a coworker, friend or relative for their advice, is my approach to therapy. I believe therapy is allowing you the space to work out issues, the space to feel free and learn about yourself in new ways. Therapy is looking at your thoughts and behavioral patterns for maximum effectiveness to your desired goals. My approach is best summed up in a quote by Benjamin Franklin, “There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one’s self.”

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with the Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness (www.cbtmindful.com); I am licensed in both PA and NY. Tending to our mental health is an incredibly important part of taking care of our overall health. In therapy, I engage with clients to work toward meaningful behavior change by developing an individually tailored evidence-based approach that incorporates aspects of both mindfulness and acceptance. I also work with clients to gain a better understanding of their values and whether their current behaviors are aligned with those values.
