FOUNDER

Emily holds a Masters degree in Social Work from New York University, and has spent much of her early career working in non-profit community clinics throughout New York City, honing her craft and developing her therapeutic skills. Emily established her private practice in 2018 and has since expanded into the current group practice, Rubin Therapy LCSW, P.C. in 2021. I completed a two-year postgraduate program at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy (ICP) with a specialization in Family and Couples treatment. My expertise is in working with individuals as they explore topics of dating, relationships, sexuality, family dynamics and life goals while managing depression, anxiety or ADHD. I also work with couples (monogamous and non-monogamous) exploring communication styles, family/future planning, and ethical non-monogamy.

Hybrid Therapy (Virtual & In-Person)

I specialize in working with folks in the LGBTQIA community, and individuals from diverse cultural and racial backgrounds who are 18+ and older. I also work with women experiencing domestic violence, individuals looking to integrate psychedelic experiences, neurodiverse folks, and individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD and interpersonal distress. With training in yoga, meditation and art, I have integrated my understanding of the human experience with psychology and social work training to create a practice with awareness that gently encourages insight and inspires action, change, growth, connection, and recovery. It would be an honor to be your witness in this journey!
