EMILY CAPPELL-SCHULTZE, LMSW | Therapist
Emily is a psychotherapist who works with adults and couples navigating topics such as grief, identity, sexuality, relationships, caregiving, and life transitions. With over ten years experience in the corporate world, Emily comes with a deep understanding of navigating career change and demanding workplace culture. She also has a particular interest in supporting clients in queer family building and parenthood, fertility challenges, perinatal loss, and medical complexities, as well as helping those experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma.
Emily’s work is grounded in relational and psychodynamic approaches, while also drawing on attachment and narrative therapy to help clients uncover their truest selves and make meaning of their experiences and relationships. Emily believes the therapeutic relationship itself can be a powerful tool for insight and healing. She offers clients a space to explore their internal worlds — past and present — with curiosity, intention, and compassion.
Emily works from a trauma-informed lens and often integrates mindfulness and somatic practices, supporting clients in connecting with their bodies and processing emotions held within them. As a queer, sex-positive, and trans-affirming therapist, Emily is committed to creating a space where clients feel seen, accepted, and supported in their full identities. She values the diversity of cultural, racial, gender, sexual, and spiritual backgrounds her clients bring, and approaches therapy with warmth, collaboration, and deep respect for each client’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.
