EMILY CAPPELL-SCHULTZE, LMSW | Therapist
Emily is a therapist who works with couples and adults navigating topics such as life transitions, relationships, gender, sex and sexuality, grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and mood instability. She is trained in Reproductive Mental Health and has a particular interest in supporting clients who are building their families, facing perinatal or postpartum mental health challenges, navigating fertility treatments and/or third-party reproduction, and those experiencing perinatal loss or medical complexities. With over twelve years experience in the corporate world, Emily also brings a deep understanding of career change and demanding workplace culture.
Emily's approach to therapy is trauma-informed and grounded in relational, psychodynamic, and narrative frameworks. By exploring early attachments and relational patterns, she helps clients uncover their truest selves and make meaning of their experiences and relationships. Emily believes the therapeutic relationship itself is a powerful tool for insight and healing. She offers clients a space to explore internal worlds – past and present – with curiosity, intention, and compassion.
Drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Emily’s work with couples is collaborative, intentional, and depth-oriented. She works to understand each couple's unique goals and relational dynamics, translating complex challenges into approachable steps toward clarity, connection, and emotional insight. She also offers premarital counseling, preconception counseling, and sex therapy.
As a queer, sex-positive, and trans-affirming therapist, Emily is committed to creating an environment where clients feel seen, supported, and accepted. She values the diversity of cultural, racial, gender, sexual, and spiritual backgrounds her clients bring, and approaches every therapeutic relationship with warmth and deep respect for each person's expertise in their own life.
Emily earned her Master's in Social Work from the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College, with a specialization in Gender and Sexuality. Her graduate training included clinical work in Mount Sinai Hospital's Perinatal Bereavement unit and Pediatric Complex Care department.
