Meet Your Therapist: Support for Adults in Idaho & Washington

Emma Asmus, MA, LCPC, LMHC

Finding a therapist shouldn't feel like another item on your overwhelming to-do list. I’m Emma, and I work with women who are high-achieving on the outside but hitting a wall on the inside.

As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Idaho and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington, I bridge the gap for clients who need specialized EMDR, trauma-informed care, and anxiety recovery, but struggle to find a provider who truly understands them.

My Philosophy: Affirming Care &Healing at Your Pace

I am passionate about working with women because I’ve seen how much we carry - the invisible load, the exhaustion of masking, the career pressure in places like Seattle, and the unique challenges of life in the Treasure Valley or rural Idaho. I believe therapy and assessments work best when you feel genuinely understood and validated, not just analyzed. My goal is to help you move from a state of constant survival mode or unanswered questions to a place of clarity, self-compassion, and sustainable peace.

Specialized Training in Assessments, EMDR & Mind-Body Healing

I am an EMDRIA-trained EMDR and talk therapist as well as a neurodiversity-affirming practitioner with specialized clinical training in adult ADHD symptoms. This dual focus means I don't just look at symptoms; I help you understand how your unique brain operates while providing evidence-based tools to heal from trauma and burnout. Whether we are using CBT to challenge negative core beliefs, learning coping skills or reprocessing trauma with EMDR, our work is always collaborative and grounded in the mind-body connection.

Providing Telehealth Across the PNW

While my practice is based in Boise, my virtual office allows me to serve adults throughout Idaho and Washington. I frequently work with clients in:

• The Treasure Valley: Boise, Meridian, Nampa, and Kuna.

• North Idaho: Coeur d’Alene, Sandpoint, and Moscow.

• Washington State: Seattle, Spokane, and the Puget Sound.

By offering a virtual-only practice, I ensure that comprehensive mental health care and specialized EMDR treatments are accessible to you with no long waitlists, whether you’re in a busy metro area or a rural mountain town.

Beyond the Session

When I’m not in the therapist chair, you can find me hiking Idaho trails with my puppy, getting lost in a good book, or on a very serious quest for the perfect almond croissant. I value authenticity, and I bring that same warmth and realness into our work together.
