Emilie Christman obtained her Bachelor’s of Social Work in 2005 from Northern Arizona University. She completed her Master’s of Social Work in 2010 from Arizona State University and specialized in Child Welfare. Both programs are accredited by the National Association of Social Workers (NASW). Emilie obtained her Social Work License (LMSW-Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners) in 2020.

She has over 20 years of experience working with various client populations including adults and children with disabilities, children with emotional disturbances, the Elderly, within the Child Welfare System, in health care and the hospital setting, and as a mental health therapist for children, families, and adults.

Emilie’s practice and her philosophical approach to therapy is based on Social Work Principles and the belief every human being has inherent worth, dignity, and value; and in Self Determination, which honors each individual’s right to choose one’s own path, state of consciousness, purpose, and destiny, and that each individual knows best what is needed for their own healing.

Therapy is a collaborative, joint, venture where knowledge and skills are combined to create meaningful solutions and positive outcomes. Because everyone is unique, Emilie uses a variety of therapeutic modalities to provide support, help facilitate healing and change, so that each individual can function at their best to achieve balance and joy in their daily life, mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

It’s is a passion, an honor, and a privilege for Emilie to be able to serve and support you on your unique life journey.
