Emily Schulz, ALMFT
THERAPIST
Emily (pronouns: she/her) is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. Trained from a relational therapy lens, Emily believes that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important parts of meaningful therapy. She uses warmth, empathy, and curiosity to help co-create a safe and supportive space. As a therapist, Emily strives to provide culturally responsive care to clients from a diverse range of sexualities, genders, races, and other important intersecting areas of identity.
Emily is passionate that our emotions have an incredible influence on our health, well-being, and relationships. Therapy should be a space where you feel safe and supported to explore identity, sexuality, gender, pleasure-oriented sex, relationship dynamics, and radical self-love. Relationships are intertwined into every dimension of our lives. They can cultivate love and euphoria or create emotional wounds. Every person deserves to feel emotionally at peace and secure in their relationship with themselves and others.
Emily works with individuals, couples, and expansive relationship structures, through a systemic lens to identify how people can feel supported, loved, at peace, and connected. Emily draws from Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS or parts work) and narrative therapy. Emily’s clinical interests include working with the LGBTQIA+ community, folx exploring their gender and sexuality, relationship issues within both polyamorous and monogamous relationships, intimacy issues and sexuality-based anxieties, identity exploration, trauma, emotional regulation, and anxiety.
Emily received her Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Purdue University Northwest and her Bachelor of Arts in Human Development and Family Studies from Michigan State University. Prior to joining Nosh Family Therapy, Emily worked at a therapy group practice in Chicago.
She is supervised by Nosheen Hydari, LMFT.
