  About Dr. Emily Fessler :

  After years of traversing the uphill battle of being a BIPOC woman/mother in academia, and almost two decades as a therapist, I’ve come to recognize that I can take advantage of the privilege of being comfortable in my own skin. On the outside, that often looks like a pair of ripped jeans and kicking off my heels over to sit crossed-legged in my chair while I sip my iced coffee. On the inside, I realize that I’m lucky because every morning when I open my eyes, I look forward to the day ahead; I love my job, I work with clients that are well-suited to my skill set, and I’m good at what I do. After years of working in the trenches of mental health, I am so happy to work with people in the exact ways that I want to.

  
  

  One of my long-time clients dubbed me “the everyday people’s sex therapist” and I can’t count on both hands the number of times that I’ve been cornered at a party by someone that says, “Soo….can I ask you a weird question?”
