Meet Emily
CO-FOUNDER | LICENSED MARRIAGE + FAMILY THERAPIST
Emily Buettner, LMFT
I have always been captivated by the power of connection—both with others and with ourselves. I believe that when we show up authentically, we create the space for deeper, more meaningful relationships and experiences. In therapy, I strive to create an environment where I can be my true self—encouraging, empathetic, and playful—so that you, too, feel safe to embrace your authentic self.
As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I work with individuals and couples navigating a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, self-esteem, stress, life transitions, men’s issues, relational conflict, and discernment counseling. My approach is collaborative, helping clients gain new insights and adopt a relational, systemic perspective as we work together toward their therapeutic goals.
I earned my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Fairfield University and began my career at a non-profit agency before transitioning into private practice. I am trained in Discernment Counseling and am pursuing certification to support couples facing uncertainty about the future of their marriages. Additionally, I have extensive experience in clinical supervision and am an active member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT).
