Emma Boruchov, LMHC

Therapist

Emma believes therapy should be a space where you can show up as your full self without fear of judgment. She works with teens and adults navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, complex family dynamics, relationship challenges, neurodivergence, and questions around identity and self-worth. Emma earned her Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Fordham University and her Bachelor’s degree from The University of Texas at Austin, graduating with high honors.

In Emma's work, the focus is on genuine understanding and collaboration. She partners with each client to create a space that is warm, relatable, and real, where you can be honest about what you're going through and feel truly heard. Emma meets you where you are, while gently offering the perspective and constructive challenge needed to break old patterns. She believes therapy can be a place to better understand yourself, recognize the experiences that have shaped you, and gain clarity for the future.

As a Jewish therapist, Emma understands how heritage, culture, and family dynamics can shape one’s worldview and sense of self. She provides a supportive space for clients to explore the complexities of Jewish identity, navigate difficult conversations, and experiences related to antisemitism, and process the emotional impact these experiences may have. When experiences of antisemitism contribute to anxiety, grief, trauma, or feelings of disconnection, Emma offers a compassionate, trauma-informed space to process these experiences, feel understood, and develop a greater sense of grounding and connection.

Emma believes there is no one “right” way to live a successful or fulfilling life. Her role is not to direct your path, but to help you discover it.  Together, Emma and her clients work toward understanding what matters most to them and making choices that feel authentic and meaningful.


Areas of Focus & Therapeutic Approach

Emma uses an individualized approach that draws from person-centered therapy, cognitive reframing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and narrative therapy. She also incorporates EMDR when appropriate to help clients process difficult or overwhelming experiences. Her work combines deeper self-exploration with relatable, practical tools to help clients better understand their emotions, navigate relationships, manage challenges, and feel more confident in their everyday lives.

Emma works with teens and adults experiencing:

  • Anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm

  • Life transitions and major changes

  • Complex family dynamics and relationship challenges

  • Jewish Identity, Culture & Community

  • Neurodivergence and questions around identity

  • Self-esteem and confidence

  • Difficulty with emotional regulation and coping

Ultimately, Emma’s goal is to help clients better understand themselves and make choices that feel right for them. She hopes to help each client rewrite their narrative in a way that honors who they are and the future they want to create.
