About Me
About Emily Kothe Counseling
Emily Kothe Counseling, LLC is a mental health practice grounded in the belief that healing happens through connection. Connection to self, to others, and to the world around us.
My work is shaped by a deep commitment to trauma informed care, social justice advocacy, and identity affirming therapy. I bring together clinical training, community organizing experience, and creative thinking to support clients navigating stress, trauma, relationships, and life transitions.
I work best with progressive and open minded individuals who understand that personal healing is always connected to the systems we live within. Therapy here is collaborative, non pathologizing, and centered on your lived experience.

Why Work With Me
Care Rooted in Connection, Identity, and Justice
My work is rooted in a deep commitment to trauma informed care, social justice, and identity affirming therapy. I approach healing as both a personal and collective process, shaped by our relationships, communities, and the systems we move through.
Trauma Informed Care
Your experiences are approached with care, respect, and an understanding of how trauma lives in both the mind and body.
Social Justice Oriented
Healing is never separate from culture, power, and identity. Therapy here explicitly acknowledges systemic oppression and its impact on wellbeing.
Identity Affirming Practice
This is a queer, trans affirming, sex positive space that honors diverse identities, relationship structures, and lived experiences.
Collaborative Approach
You are the expert on your life. Therapy is a partnership built on trust, curiosity, and shared decision making.
