Emily Wallen, LPC is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing at her clinic in Fort Worth, TX. She is registered with The Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council and dedicated to providing comprehensive Licensed Counseling or Therapy care. Licensed Counselors and Therapists (LPCs, LCSWs, LMFTs) provide evidence-based psychotherapy to address emotional, social, and behavioral challenges such as anxiety, depression, and relationship issues, working collaboratively with primary care physicians when appropriate, and are the ideal choice for individuals seeking talk therapy to improve their mental well-being.

I have been in the mental health field since 1988, working in various roles and settings with diverse populations. I graduated from Texas State University - San Marcos with a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling in 2002 and have been fully licensed as a therapist since 2005, completing rigorous medical training from recognized institutions. Your walk of life, race, sexuality, occupation, and relationship status all matter. They are parts of what has shaped your life and identity in the past and what you are currently experiencing. My goal is to understand those parts of you and how they impact what you might be going through now and what you hope for your future. My aim is to help you become whole and healthy and true to the real you. I find that most of my clients start therapy for depression, anxiety, family/ relationship problems, internal struggles and addiction. Usually we begin the process by talking about what brings you to counseling before covering the overview of your reality here and now. If historical issues and future concerns need healing or resolution then we work on those, too. You can courageously address your past without re-experiencing traumas. Emily Wallen provides consultations primarily in English.
