Emma Kuchler, M.Ed., LCSW

It is important to me that I meet my clients where they are at in their healing journey as we work together to process trauma, identify needs, work towards achieving goals, and develop healthy coping skills. I believe that my clients are the experts of their own life experiences, strengths and needs. The approach I implement is based on each individualized clients needs utilizing a wraparound perspective while applying various therapeutic techniques and modalities. I see the therapeutic process as a true collaboration with my clients and other members of their treatment team.

With nearly 20 years of work in the field of eating disorders I have extensive experience in helping clients navigate the complexities of their eating disorder. I understand the non-linear nature of recovery and value helping my clients feel more empowered in navigating their recovery and developing healthier coping mechanisms.

I strive to create a space of empathy, non-judgment, and respect for the autonomy of my clients. I believe that setbacks don’t signify failure but rather are part of the process, which is critical in helping my clients stay engaged in therapy even when things feel difficult or overwhelming.

I graduated from Lesley University with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology in 2009. In 2011, I completed my Masters in Education at Lesley University. I later graduated from Arizona State University with a Masters in Social Work. I am a professional member with MEDA (Multi-Service Eating Disorders Association) and a member of the National Association of Social Workers.

I am licensed to practice in the state of Rhode Island and Massachusetts.

I enjoy traveling, trips to the Cape, kayaking, spending time with my family, going to concerts, and Ohio State football. I live with my family in Waltham, MA.
