Hi, I’m EMMA SPANN (she/her).

I am an Outpatient Therapist (LMHC) licensed in Rhode Island.

I am the Owner/Outpatient Therapist at Hearthstone Counseling.  I graduated from University of Alabama at Birmingham with my Master’s degree in Mental and Clinical Health Counseling, with a Marriage and Family Therapy Certificate. I moved to Rhode Island in June of 2023 and I have been working as an outpatient therapist in RI since then. I have also recently completed EMDR Training and able to provide EMDR therapy to clients who may benefit from this approach.

I have experience working with individuals who have anxiety and depression, self-esteem issues such as body dysmorphia and negative body image, and a history of trauma, as well as supporting couples in building effective communication strategies. It is my goal to provide a safe and open space for anyone and everyone - especially so, for those within the LGBTQIA+ community - to reshape and rewrite their story, and to become their most authentic selves.

My favorite part of being a therapist is having the opportunity to learn and explore people’s stories. Everyone I have worked with has taught me something invaluable. I am constantly grateful to the people who have allowed me to work with them as they have gone on their mental health journey. 

I hope to provide individuals with the space to explore who they are and who they want to be. I would like to walk with you in your journey of self-discovery and exploration as you find what feels like the best version of you.

My Approach

I approach therapy with my clients with a level of curiosity and care that I attempt to approach all aspects of my life with. I want to create an environment where people can feel as comfortable as possible sharing their lives with me. We are humans interacting and engaging with one another to work towards a future where you feel most authentically yourself. My hope is always to walk along with my clients, as we both get the opportunity to discover the best version of ourselves that there is.

Why Hearthstone?

The hearth has, historically, was the focal point of home and community. It provided a place of safety, warmth, light and nourishment. My goal is to emulate that sense of warmth and connection within my practice. I want the folks that work with me to feel that same sense of relief and unburdening that happens when one is the safety of the light that the hearthstone has provided people for centuries.
