Meet Your Therapist: Support for Women 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 women who need specialized EMDR and trauma-informed care but struggle to find a provider who truly understands them.

My Philosophy: Healing at Your Pace

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

Specialized Training in EMDR & Mind-Body Healing

I am an EMDRIA-trained EMDR and talk therapist. This means I don't just do talk therapy; I use evidence-based techniques to help your brain file away distressing memories that feel stuck in your body. 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 women 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 specialized EMDR care is accessible to you, 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 the Idaho trails with my puppy, getting lost in a novel, 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.
