Hi, I’m Emily Caricato, LCSW, and I’ve been practicing since 2015. I’m licensed in Colorado, Florida, and Kansas and enjoy working with children, adults, Veterans, and parents from diverse backgrounds. My specialties include anxiety, depression, trauma, family issues, and stress management. I use trauma-informed and person-centered approaches focused on body awareness and mindfulness. I’m also pursuing somatic therapy training to help clients reconnect with their bodies and emotions. I strive to create a laid-back, nonjudgmental space for healing and growth.
In therapy, we’ll work together to create a plan that fits your needs, goals, and pace. I draw from trauma-informed care, cognitive processing, and relationship-focused approaches to help you find balance, clarity, and self-understanding. You’ll gain tools to navigate challenges and build confidence in your ability to grow and heal.
During our first session, you can expect a laid-back, nonjudgmental space to talk about what brings you here. We’ll explore what you’d like to focus on and create goals that feel realistic and meaningful.
A bit about me: I was born and raised in Kansas, am a wife, mom of four, and proud grandma of two. I love traveling—especially anywhere with a beach!
Who are you are best positioned to serve?
I work well with clients of all ages and diverse backgrounds. I focus on meeting each person where they are in their journey and tailoring support to their unique needs.
What areas you feel are your biggest strengths?
My strengths are creating a safe, supportive space and meeting clients where they are. I’m especially good at helping people work through anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions while empowering them to recognize their own resilience.
What's your favorite part about being a therapist?
My favorite part of being a therapist is seeing those moments when clients realize their own strength. I love being able to create a space where people feel safe, supported, and truly heard. Watching someone grow more confident in their ability to handle challenges and begin to trust themselves again is incredibly rewarding. For me, it’s not just about helping people through difficulties—it’s about walking alongside them as they discover new possibilities for healing and growth.
What can clients expect?
Clients can expect to leave sessions feeling supported, with practical tools and greater confidence to handle life’s challenges.
Why did you join Curis?
I joined Curis because their mission and values align with mine. I wanted to be part of a team that truly prioritizes accessible, compassionate care and supports therapists in meeting clients where they are.
