-Psychotherapist-

I created Unity Psychotherapy out of a passion to help others find unity and wholeness in their lives. I believe the best way to facilitate this journey is by prioritizing collaboration and client attunement. Simply put, my clients bring their life expertise, I bring my educational and practical expertise, we both bring our human experience, and together we co-create the connection that is the foundation for healing in the therapeutic relationship.

I deeply believe that every person has wisdom and insights that are integral to their own healing process. I offer a safe, open, curious, and playful environment where my clients are free to explore the depths of human existence - the joy - and the suffering - so as to discover and rediscover what it truly means to feel connected and whole. I help my clients explore the broader systems that they are surrounded by, and encourage and guide my clients in self exploration. Together we create a space that honors personal learning. I prioritize slowing down and taking time to explore with my clients how their mind, body, and spirit can better work together to help them live more fulfilling lives. I tailor my work with each person based on how they show up in this life.

I have studied psychology, the human condition, and expanded states of consciousness for over a decade. I earned my Master of Arts in psychology, Marriage and Family Therapy, from Antioch University with a trauma informed addictions concentration, and my Bachelor of Arts in psychology from the University of Washington with a minor in Gender Women and Sexuality Studies. I am a certified Hakomi Therapist through the Seattle Hakomi Education Network, level 2 trained in Eye Movement and Desensitization Therapy through the EMDR Institute, and hold a certificate in Relational Psychedelic Assisted Therapy trough the Beckley Academy. I am in the process of learning how to integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS) into couple’s therapy through the IFS Institute, and hope to join more of their trainings in the future. I have made it my life's work to be a therapist, and I am profoundly grateful for each and every client that I have the opportunity to work with… I am so happy you are here!

You May Be Wondering...

  • I work with both individuals and couples, integrating talk therapy, Hakomi, and EMDR in my approach. While I often blend these modalities, we can focus on a single modality at any point in our work together if that feels most supportive.

    For those seeking preparation and integration sessions, I recommend a minimum commitment of 2–3 preparation sessions and 2–3 integration sessions to support meaningful work with non-ordinary states of consciousness.

  • 60-minute session: $175

    If you want to meet for longer sessions we can arrange rates ahead of time.

    I offer a sliding scale and set aside a certain number of low rate sessions for those with great financial need. Variable rates can be discussed in person at our first meeting, or at any time during our work together. Sliding scale slots are currently full - this page will be updated as slots become available.

  • My practice is private pay - I am also an out-of-network provider with many insurers.

    Clinical services may be covered in part or in full by your health insurance plan if you have out-of-network coverage. Check your coverage carefully by asking your provider these questions:

    • Do I have “out-of-network” mental health insurance benefits?

    • What is my deductible and has it been met?

    • What is my “co-insurance”?

    • How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?

    • What is the coverage amount per session?

    • Do you cover billing code 90837 (for individual counseling) or 90847 (for family/couple counseling)?

    • Do you cover services for Emily Grooms, LMFT, license #LF 61403486; NPI# 1164959987?

    • Is approval required from my primary care doctor?

    In instances where out-of-network benefits are covered, you will be responsible for payment at the time of service and your insurance will reimburse your expenses. If you are planning on using out-of-network benefits and need documentation, I can provide a super-bill for you to submit to your insurance provider.

  • My office is located in the historic Beeson Building in the heart of downtown Edmonds Ancestral land of the Sdohobsh (Snohomish) past and present.

    There is free onsite and street parking. Unfortunately, due to the age of the building, my office is not ADA accessible. If you have any questions about services and are in need of accommodations because of accessibility issues, please contact me and we can discuss any other options that may be available.

    I also provide Telehealth services for those within the state of Washington who are unable to make it for in person sessions.
