Emilia Eva Mikrut, PhD: Licensed Psychologist

As a psychologist, I have special interests and expertise in neurodivergence (specifically Level 1 Autism and ADHD), social anxiety, relationship/interpersonal concerns, young adulthood, grief, and military veterans’ issues. I often work with folks who struggle with feeling “different” or a bit like outsiders. This could be because of unique life circumstances, past relational wounds and trauma, grief, or underlying neurodivergence. Many times, folks share they’re interested in therapy to work on challenges with self-worth and shame, internal conflict or dissatisfaction about the closeness of their relationships, and a deep questioning about where they belong. My approach to treatment is largely grounded in relational psychodynamic theory. I am also influenced by existential and humanistic perspectives, and have experience with other modalities such as CBT and ACT, which I blend into my practice. To me, meaningful and effective therapy is all about “fit”. My therapeutic style has been described as warm, authentic, accepting, and collaborative. From my experience, when you find the right match in a therapeutic relationship, you may feel safe to begin showing up as a truer version of yourself and making changes towards a more fulfilling life.
