Emily De La Torre, M.S., LMHC
Owner | Nationally Board Certified Counselor
Professional therapist in Vancouver, WA.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Marriage and Family Therapist, I serve individuals, couples, and families in Vancouver, WA.
As a therapist, I help people navigate through challenges surrounding relationships, family struggles and life transitions. I specialize in working with couples, business owners and entrepreneurs. I have extensive training in serving couples through Emotion Focused Therapy and I am passionate about supporting couples in healing and reconnecting. With business owners, counseling is approached through a lens that fully acknowledges the business imperatives that impact mental health, family wellness and career success. Along with counseling, I am currently engaged in pioneering innovative programs rooted in psychology to enhance recruiting, selecting and overall production for the financial services industry.
I earned a Bachelor of Science in Family and Child Science and a Minor in Psychology from New Mexico State University. I completed my Master of Science in Counselor Education; Marital, Couple, Family Counseling from Portland State University.
In my free time, I love cooking diverse foods, playing golf, listening to podcasts on business/personal development and most importantly, spending quality time exploring the Pacific Northwest with my husband, daughter and dog.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I serve individuals, couples, and families in Vancouver, WA.
I believe that we are each guided by our own set of thoughts, behaviors, values, and emotions, which are generally formed from our relationships with others. I seek to help people resolve and overcome challenges related to relationships, familial discord, and mental or emotional distress. I have a special interest in serving clients navigating through separation, divorce, or co-parenting and couples who have children with special needs. I have thorough training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy and Mindfulness techniques. Additionally, I have a background working with families whose children are on the Autism spectrum.
I completed a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology from University of the Pacific in Stockton, California. I earned a Master of Arts Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Chapman University in Orange, California. Furthermore, I am an independent practitioner with Pax Family Counseling.
