It’s been … a lot.

Lately, life feels like you’re a puppet, with endless to-dos, worries, and sky-high expectations tugging at your strings.

It’s like you’re no longer the one calling the shots.

Juggling work, relationships, and all those “Am I doing this right?” moments, while stress, self-doubt, and the weight of past events (we’re looking at you, trauma) tug at you from every direction.

And let’s be real—when was the last time you did something just for you?

You’ve binged the self-help books and motivational podcasts, but the peace and joy you’re craving? It’s still out of reach.

It doesn’t have to be like this.

Picture a reality where you’ve finally gotten to the root of your struggles, and healing just flows from there.

Your relationships? Thriving. Work? Balanced and efficient. Your self-care? It’s happening!

You’re walking through life with confidence, joy, and peace.

Balance is your new normal, and anxiety and trauma aren’t calling the shots anymore.

You’re comfortable in your skin, at peace with your choices, and are finally living for YOU.

Reclaim your calm. Rewrite your story. Rediscover you.

At Chronicles Counseling, I offer a safe, supportive space for high-achieving people, therapists, and helpers to slow down, tune in, and take back the wheel.

Using trauma-informed, evidence-based therapy like EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS), we’ll uncover what’s been driving the anxiety, perfectionism, body image struggles, or burnout — and gently help you reconnect to your inner clarity, peace, and power.

Your inner world may feel noisy or overwhelmed right now — but each part has a purpose. Through therapy, you’ll reconnect with the grounded Self inside you who’s meant to lead.

Emily’s Specialties

What healing looks like: 

→ Feeling confident, worthy, and proud of yourself and your life.

→ Being content in your career, relationships, and personal life.

→ Having joy for life and a passion for your career and hobbies.

→ Feeling comfortable in your body and your choices around food, without anxiety and disordered thinking.

→ Freedom from the panic and anxiety from past traumas.

→ Being in control of your life, like you are back in the driver's seat.

→ Experiencing life to the fullest and feeling true peace.

    • IFS (Internal Family Systems) is like discovering the "team" inside your mind—each part has its role, like protecting you or carrying past hurt. With therapy, you learn to listen to them and bring them together for healing and balance.

    • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) is like helping your brain work through the tough stuff by using guided bi-lateral movements. It helps you process past pain and let go of its hold, so you can move forward feeling freer and more at peace.

Meet the Clinician

Hey, I’m Emily Paxton, MA, LMHC, RD.

As your therapist, I’m dedicated to helping you uncover the root of what’s holding you back, so you can experience true healing and lasting peace. 

I use evidence-based therapies like EMDR (and IFS) to break through trauma, disordered thoughts, anxiety, and self-worth struggles.

A little about me, I’m warm, empathetic, solutions-focused, and always up for a good laugh (when the vibe is right!)

As a Christian, if faith is a source of strength for you, I’m happy to weave scripture and faith-based rituals into session.

Above all, I’ll be in your corner, no matter what season of life you’re navigating.

Let’s chat!
