About
Emily DiPalma, LMFT, specializes in working with couples who look strong and successful on the outside but are quietly struggling to feel connected at home. Many of the couples she supports are driven, caring, and accomplished - yet find themselves stuck in the same arguments, feeling more like roommates than teammates, or carrying the weight of wedding planning, parenting, demanding careers, financial stress, or past hurts. They often miss the ease, intimacy, and spark that used to feel effortless. Emily helps couples slow down enough to actually hear each other again. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method, she guides partners toward clearer communication, deeper understanding, and moments of genuine reconnection. Her approach is warm, grounding, and collaborative, creating a space where couples can repair old patterns, rebuild trust, and feel like “us” again. Emily also supports clients navigating struggles with food and body image. Through a compassionate, weight-inclusive lens rooted in Intuitive Eating and Health at Every Size, she helps individuals move away from shame and toward self-trust, peace, and acceptance. If you’re ready to feel close again, Emily offers a space where healing and reconnection are truly possible. Reach out and schedule a consultation today!

Message to clients
I love working with couples, especially when things feel tough. If you’re in a place where you’re fighting more than connecting, feeling distant, or unsure of what comes next, you deserve a therapist who can handle the hard moments with you. I show up fully: calm, clear, and committed to helping you both feel understood. My approach is warm, practical, and grounded in strategies that actually work. I’m both compassionate and direct, helping you slow down the conflict, communicate more clearly, and get to the heart of what’s really going on. You won’t be blamed or judged; we’ll work together to restore safety, clarity, and connection. Couples often tell me that sessions help them feel lighter, more hopeful, and more like a team again. My goal is for you to walk away with immediate relief and a path forward. If you’re ready for things to feel better, steadier, closer, and more manageable, I’m here to help. Schedule a consultation today, and let’s take the first step toward rebuilding your connection.
