My name is Emily Bryan — I am a Certified Sex Coach, Alcohol and Drug Counselor, and Licensed Professional Counselor. I have my Master’s Degree in Professional Mental Health Counseling from Lewis & Clark College and my Sex Coaching Certificate from Sex Coach University. Before opening my business in 2022, I worked in residential and outpatient settings with individuals working through trauma and defining their beliefs and values around substance use. I also have an undergraduate degree in philosophy, which greatly influences how I show up in my practice.
My style is transparent, honest, challenging, and compassionate. My career and lived experience influence how I show up in my counseling practice and have helped me to learn my passions and skills in my work. I love the opportunity to teach, to experience the mutual “Aha” moment during a session when we stumble upon something new, and to tackle and embrace tough life experiences.
My absolute favorite thing about my job, however, is the existential element: when the therapeutic relationship feels like a special moment in time because of the powerful work we are doing together and we lose track of time and space. I feel incredibly fortunate to be in this field, and I do not take that privilege lightly. If you are ready to experience this level of humanness, I am the coach for you.
