Emily O-Rourke-Mills, LMFT
Assistant Clinical Director - Canyonside
Emily Mills is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in
treating mental health conditions occurring concurrently with substance use
disorders. She also specializes in working with the LGBT community. Emily
graduated cum laude from the University of Colorado at Boulder with a
bachelor’s degree in Humanities, and from the California Institute of
Integral Studies with a Masters degree in Counseling Psychology, with an
emphasis on Integral Psychology. Emily brings over a decade of diverse
clinical experience to her work at Bayside Marin.
Emily’s work with clients focuses on recognizing the underlying causes and
conditions for substance use, viewing their use as a symptom, rather than
the sole cause of their suffering. She was trained psychodynamically and
brings a relational psychodynamic lens to her work. Emily also employs tools
from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and
Mindfulness to support clients in developing tools to support their
wellness. Emily believes that the core of recovery is in creating a life
that you want to live, and works with clients to help them identify what
brings them great joy, and how to eliminate the barriers to those
experiences of joy and fulfillment. Her work is collaborative, meeting
individual clients where they are, and allowing both for sadness and
laughter. She places deep value in fully experiencing emotions as they
arise. |
