Emma Krug earned her Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan with a focus on interpersonal practice and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Pepperdine University. She brings a broad range of clinical experience to her work, having provided therapy to adults, children, adolescents, and families across outpatient and residential mental health settings. 

Before entering outpatient practice, Emma spent two years working in residential treatment, deepening her understanding of complex and acute mental health needs. In her most recent roles, she has provided individual therapy with a focus on supporting children and adolescents navigating ADHD, executive functioning challenges, anxiety, depression, and trauma. 

Emma integrates evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support clients in building insight, developing skills, and moving toward meaningful goals. She believes in the collaborative nature of therapy and strives to create an affirming and compassionate space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered in their healing journey.

I feel very understood and supported by my therapist.
