Emily Reiner, LPC, LCMHC, RPT (Speaker/Presenter): Is a professional counselor, Air Force veteran, and author with a passion for exploring all things wellness. Emily began her counseling career in 2018 and has spent the following years exploring how “wellness” shows up in people’s lives. As a Registered Play Therapist, she saw firsthand how life experiences play a role in how people show up in the world, how they interact in relationships, how they construct their identity, and how they experience “wellness”, even in the earliest years of life. Emily’s continued work with clients all across the age spectrum showed that these experiences continue to shape us as we navigate our lives. She work with her clients to help them discover their whole self, have compassion and nurture their tender pieces, and make space for joy by capitalizing on the integrative tapestry of wellness. Emily’s work emphasizes compassion and the integration of diverse elements of wellness to create a fulfilling and balanced life.
