Emily Hood, CMHC

Reaching out for help can feel intimidating, but you do not have to handle the challenges of life alone.

Before our first session, I offer free phone consultations to make sure I’m a good fit for your counseling needs. My rate is $75 for 50 minute counseling sessions. I also have an income based sliding scale available upon request. I will provide all of the necessary documentation for out-of-network insurance claims submissions. Please check with your insurance provider for your reimbursement policy when working with an out of network provider.

I am in my final year in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling M.Ed. program at William & Mary. 

With a background in public health communications, I always wanted to have the opportunity to support people on their mental health journeys. Studying mental health and learning about different elements that impact our thoughts and behaviors have been enriching experiences for me. I am excited to have the privilege to help people move forward towards richer, fuller lives. In my free time I like to play tennis, bake and eat desserts, thrift, and be outside in nice weather. 

  • I use a trauma-informed approach to provide compassionate care and a safe space for all my clients. Every client has a unique story and personality and I will collaborate with you on the best interventions for your specific needs. I work with people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, self-esteem, burnout, conflicts, and other problems life throws our way. Through cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and other tools, I work with clients to rewire negative thought patterns and habits, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and find different perspectives.

  • I am in my final year in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling M.Ed. program at William & Mary. I also completed certificates in Trauma-Informed Care from Indiana University Bloomington and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Workplace from the University of South Florida.
