Hear from Simplify’s Founder
Hello! I’m Emily Ferrara. I’m the founder and director of Simplify Life Counseling +
Coaching. My journey to becoming a therapist came from my own lived experiences
as a child who struggled with undiagnosed social anxiety and OCD along with
chronic medical issues. I can remember feeling stuck in constant mental anxiety
loops but never having a way to name or address them. Feeling ashamed that I
couldn’t “think” or pray or do my way out of it, I learned to perform and achieve
to feel better, but it was never enough. And even though I didn’t have the answers,
I longed to break free from anxiety’s prison. In my 20s, I learned about my specific
diagnosis and the best treatments for it. This information gave me hope
and a desire to help others so they don’t have to struggle like I did for so
many years. I’ve devoted my life’s work to researching, understanding, and
addressing clinical anxiety in kids, teens, and adults so they, too, can live
with greater freedom!
