Emily Dirksmeyer, LCSW

Currently accepting new clients in Texas

Welcome to Deep Currents Counseling,

I’m glad that our paths have intersected and landed you here! As a therapist, I have had the opportunity to work with a diverse group of people in varied clinical and public policy settings. These opportunities have led me to hold the belief that our journeys as individuals are only enhanced by the intersections we have with other people and their stories. As a therapist, I feel incredibly lucky to have intersected with so many stories and for the perspectives they have offered me as a human and clinician along the way. 

I look forward to supporting you in cultivating a path forward that allows you to be your most authentic self!

Approach

I specialize in working with young adults and adolescents who have experienced complex trauma. However, all are welcome. I utilize Attachment-Based theory to support my clients in exploring patterns and experiences that have impacted their internalized view of self and ways of showing up in relationships.

I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Trust-Based Relational Interventions, but additionally utilize the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics developed by Dr. Bruce Perry to inform much of my Attachment-Based work with clients.  

Areas of Focus

  • Highly Sensitive People

  • Trauma/ Complex Trauma

“Relationships are the agents of change and the most powerful therapy is human love.”
