Emily Moley , LMHC

Emily Moley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who brings over a decade of clinical experience to her work. She earned a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from St. John Fisher College in Rochester, NY in May 2011 and became a licensed mental health counselor in New York in 2014. Her early career began in an outpatient mental health clinic where she supported men, women, and teenagers managing conditions such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, and she later led a group for people with co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns.

In February 2015 she joined the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision to provide mental health and substance abuse treatment to incarcerated individuals, and after nearly six years in that role she gained deep insight into how trauma and abuse influence issues like abandonment, trust, guilt and shame, family dynamics, and parenting. Much of her clinical focus includes stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, addictions, LGBT and intimacy-related concerns, parenting, anger, self-esteem, depression, and ADHD, along with related areas such as codependency, communication problems, and post-traumatic stress.

Emily’s therapeutic stance is rooted in respect for each person’s capacity for growth. She frames her role as one of support rather than instruction, offering a collaborative space to explore strengths, uncover internal solutions, and develop healthier coping skills. She emphasizes that meaningful change often comes through working with discomfort, and she partners with clients to navigate that work and move toward the life they want.
