About me

Welcome! My name is Emily and I am a licensed professional counselor in the states of Maine, New Hampshire and Wisconsin. I have over 18 years of experience working in the mental health field. I have worked in a variety of settings including schools, residential, outpatient, in-home, and private practice.

I feel so committed to this kind of work; the ability to partner with others and help them see their strengths and abilities to empower them. I work to create a healing space where growth, understanding and change can occur.

I love the quote by Carl Jung, "We are not what happened to us, we are who we choose to become." This is what I think therapy is all about; helping people understand this and see their future, one that is full of hope and the ability to overcome the challenges and struggles that life can bring. This is not just a philosophy or modality of a treatment. It is a way of being and seeing in the world, a way of seeing the potential and nobility in anything or anyone.

I find her attentive, she gives great advice and is so nice.

Ms. Gutierrez has been instrumental in my journey of healing. She has insights and practical knowledge that has helped me wade through the muddy waters. Her modelity is offering insights without being domineering thereby giving me the opportunity to do the work and go through the process to heal. I have made very good progress and am very pleased with my therapy with her.
