Hi there! I’m Emily Pavel and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Louisiana. It is my goal to create a safe and inclusive treatment environment for adults and adolescents seeking therapeutic collaboration around eating disorders, depression, anxiety, mood dysregulation, trauma, and life transitions.

I have worked in many clinical settings, including adult inpatient eating disorder and trauma, adolescent inpatient behavior health, and adult intensive outpatient for behavioral health and substance use treatment. I hold a Master of Social Work and Bachelor of Arts from Tulane University.

Throughout my time working as a therapist, I have studied multiple treatment modalities. In my therapy sessions I pull from several modalities, including Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Theory, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I find it helpful to occasionally give assignments in between sessions so that clients can continue growth and learning outside of the therapy hour.

It is a privilege for me to support individuals where they are at. Please reach out to me with any additional questions or to schedule.
