Emily Jurries, MS, LCMHC, CRC

Manager and Staff Therapist

Emily received a Master of Science in Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. She spent six years conducting research and working in a clinical setting with young children and adolescents experiencing stressful life situations and a variety of mood disorders. Emily further strengthened her skills during an internship in Raleigh where she provided counseling services to adolescents and adults. She enjoys counseling individuals of all ages: and all cultures including people of all gender identities and sexual orientations.

Emily was inspired to become a mental health counselor by seeing her mother’s success as a children’s counselor. She saw the positive impact her mother had on families and realized that becoming a counselor and being there for people when they need it most would fulfill her career goals. Emily strongly believes in the power of recreation for improving overall mental health. She loves the outdoors, her adorable dog “Manny” and has recently taken up the guitar!

After reading the A Little Counseling website, Emily instantly connected with Bri-Ann’s ideals of therapy and reached out to join the team. Emily is also very passionate about helping individuals with their anxiety! She believes anxiety and depression are incredibly common concerns that often accompany transitions, stressors or come out of the blue. Regardless of the severity, she believes that there is always room to help you feel more secure with yourself and others!

In addition to seeing adults, Emily is working directly with Bri-Ann in the play therapy program.
