Hi there! I'm Dr. Emily Ciepcielinski.

Welcome to a space dedicated to healing, thriving, and breaking generational cycles. As a passionate advocate for mental health, I'm on a mission to help individuals overcome anxiety and eating disorders, empowering them to not just survive but flourish.

Therapeutic Expertise:

In a nutshell, my work focuses on helping individuals find true nourishment for their minds, bodies and souls. As an anxiety and eating disorder specialist, part of my work is helping people discover what caused the suffering to emerge in the first place, what factors maintain it, and what will bring about true healing. I believe each individual has incredible potential and an endless capacity to create a life that is meaningful and rewarding. I believe this type of life can be attained by maintaining strong and healthy relationships, accessing one’s inner wisdom and strengths, and learning skills to effectively and consistently regulate life’s many emotions. A huge part of this work involves reconnecting with one’s body and soul. Clients tell me that my therapeutic style is warm and relational, and that they appreciate my direct, goal-oriented, and collaborative approach. If you are struggling with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, poor body image, or just an overall disordered relationship with food, please reach out. I also treat anxiety conditions, like panic, generalized anxiety, and social anxiety, along with overall chronic stress and struggles with work/life balance.

Educator and Consultant:

As a dedicated professional, I train counselors and other mental health providers to become certified eating disorder specialists. In fact, I received my doctorate specifically in counselor education and supervision so that I could help train the next generation of mental health professionals; I believe that strongly in the importance of receiving excellent supervision. Particularly in the field of eating disorders, an area that demands additional education, training, and clinical practice, I'm committed to shaping compassionate and skilled specialists who make a lasting impact.

Accessible Resources:

Mental health support should be accessible to all. That's why I provide resources and digital courses to enhance your understanding of anxiety and eating disorders. Please join me and reach out with any questions!

On the Personal Side:

I am a Carolina girl at heart (go heels!), and I’ve also lived in California and Texas (both have big pieces of my heart as well). I am mom to 3 children and one dog, wife to my husband of 16 years, and a lover of 90’s hip-hop. Other favorites: hiking, practicing yoga, traveling, skiing, baking, and reading. Oh, and trying out the latest restaurants in Charlotte. I’m always eager to hear your recommendations!

So, are you ready for a change? I’d love to hear from you! You can also follow along on Instagram [@dr.emilyciep](https://www.instagram.com/dr.emilyciep/) for a daily dose of inspiration and insights.

All my best,

Emily Ciepcielinski, PhD, LCMHCS, CEDS-C
