The Serious Stuff…
Emily Smolinski is a compassionate and insightful therapist specializing in narrative therapy, a technique that helps clients reshape their personal stories to foster growth and healing. Believing that the way people frame their experiences shapes their identities, she guides clients in examining, deconstructing, and rewriting the narratives they tell about themselves. By exploring dominant themes in their lives, uncovering hidden strengths, and challenging limiting beliefs, Emily empowers individuals to take control of their personal stories. Through this process, her clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves, fostering resilience, self-compassion, and a renewed sense of agency in their lives.
Emily sees clients out of the Des Moines location.
