Emily Hand, LPC

Emily Hand is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee who works with people affected by substance and behavioral addictions as well as a range of other concerns including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship challenges, and parenting difficulties. She has focused substantial training on supporting those who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse and brings that experience into her clinical work.

Her therapeutic style is curious and interactive, prioritizing respect, sensitivity, and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels. She meets clients where they are and collaborates with them to identify strengths and build resilience, taking particular satisfaction in witnessing clients discover their own inner resources.

Emily blends several evidence-informed approaches to shape individualized treatment plans, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), rational emotive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, and grief counseling. She tailors conversation and techniques to each person’s unique needs and believes the brain, like the body, is wired toward healing. Emily frames help-seeking as an act of courage and curiosity and offers supportive, empowering guidance to those who choose to work with her.
