Emily Seppi LMFT
I specialize in working with couples and individuals, offering therapy in-person in Spokane and online throughout Washington and Idaho.
I help people address and heal from relationship problems and chronic stress. My approach goes beyond traditional talk therapy: insight into underlying patterns is a good starting point, but you also deserve the opportunity to experience meaningful, lasting change.
Emily Seppi LMFT: My Approach
Holistic Care
The context of our lives has a huge impact on our mental health: whether or not we have been deeply loved, or known what it is to feel safe, or had the opportunity to make amends when we made mistakes, or whether we feel a sense of belonging and being appreciated in our communities. The type of therapy I practice targets both the larger systems we live within, as well as the small cues from our bodies and our relationships which guide us towards healing and growth.
“Safety is the soil where healing takes root.”
— Stephen Porges, founder of Polyvagal Theory
Utilizing Brainspotting and neuro-informed techniques, I help you gently process trauma. My goal is to shift from survival to thriving, restoring your inner peace and personal agency.
Using Emotionally Focused Therapy, I guide couples and families through negative cycles toward secure attachment. I help you transform disconnection into a supportive, trusted bond built on lasting love.
AI-Free Therapy
I do not use AI in any of my client-facing work. That means:
-
I do not allow AI to "listen" to our sessions so that it can document for me; I write my own progress notes.
-
I do not use AI to write my treatment plans.
-
I do not ask AI for case consultation or clinical recommendations.
While there are certainly instances where AI can be useful, I do not believe AI has any place in the therapy room. It simply cannot be accountable and attuned the way that a therapist should be.
Emily Seppi, LMFT
With 13 years of experience, I specialize in working with people (couples and individuals) who have experienced stress, grief, and/or trauma that is currently interfering with their relationships and lives. I bring my heart into my work, but also a lot of technical skill: I am certified in Brainspotting and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, and I supervise other therapists seeking to build these skills. I also supervise new therapists as an AAMFT Approved Supervisor. My warm, highly attuned approach works together with you to achieve lasting healing and growth.
