You've spent years excelling in your career, nurturing deep friendships, and working hard to create a meaningful life for yourself. Yet when it comes to love, you feel like something’s missing—a familiar pattern of over giving, people-pleasing, or a sense that your true needs are left unspoken. Maybe you find that no matter how much you try, the love you experience doesn’t match the depth of who you are. You may experience anxiety in your closest relationships and find yourself recreating the same patterns with partners over and over. You might be wondering if you’ll ever feel fully seen, truly heard, and embraced for all that you are.
I’m Emily Wood, a licensed Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and founder of Our True Expression PLLC based in Albany, NY. I know exactly what it feels like to be caught in those patterns. I also understand the strength and resilience that come from wanting relationships that are healthy, intentional, and nurturing. It's not that you're not capable of healthy relationships. Instead, you're used to settling in relationships that recreate an outdated yet familiar way of relating to and attaching with others.
Now, it's time to grow into a new way of relating to and loving yourself and others. I can help you with this! Here, you have a safe space to explore your inner world, to honor your journey, and to transform the way you approach relationships.
I often work with driven women who, despite their achievements, feel disempowered in their relationships. I offer a unique, blended approach that combines ACT, CBT, Attachment Theories and Mindfulness with a personalized, heart-centered touch.
In our work together, you won’t just talk about your struggle, you’ll begin to see real, sustainable change. You’ll learn to recognize old patterns, embrace self-compassion, and set healthy boundaries, gradually transforming your relationships and your relationship with yourself.
Here, you’ll discover a compassionate ally who meets you exactly where you are, understands your unique challenges, and supports you in creating the secure relationships you’ve been longing for.
If you’re ready to move beyond feeling stuck and start experiencing slow, steady transformation in your love life, I invite you to take the first step. Let’s embark on this journey together.
