My Approach

At Hand in Hand Couples & Family Therapy, I believe therapy should feel personal, collaborative, and grounded in genuine understanding. No two people share the same story, so I tailor each session to your unique experiences, relationships, and goals.

By integrating evidence-based methods with deeper, insight-oriented work, I help clients understand the patterns that shape their lives — and build the tools to create real, lasting change. Together, we work toward healing, stability, and stronger connections with yourself and others.

Whether you’re seeking personal healing, a stronger partnership, or more harmony within your family, therapy can help you move toward greater understanding, balance, and fulfillment — and I’m here to walk with you through that process.

Tailored Treatment

Every client’s journey begins with a thoughtful assessment and collaborative exploration of your history, relationships, and goals. Together, we’ll identify the patterns and emotional themes that shape your current experiences. From there, we’ll create a clear, structured plan to guide your healing process — so you always have a sense of direction, purpose, and support along the way.

About Emrielle VanCleave, LMFT C-PD CCTP-II

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Personality Disorder Treatment Provider (C-PD), and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Level II: Complex Trauma (CCTP-II), I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate complex trauma, personality dynamics, and relational challenges. I am also a Certified Clinical Telemental Health Provider, offering effective and accessible therapy in a secure virtual setting.

My clinical approach is deeply informed by Schema Therapy, Transference-Focused Psychotherapy (TFP), and Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT)—evidence-based models that help clients understand and transform enduring patterns in emotion, identity, and relationships. These approaches emphasize both self-awareness and relational understanding, fostering lasting emotional growth and healthier ways of connecting with others. I receive regular supervision in Schema Therapy and am an active member of the International Society of Schema Therapy (ISST), the Schema Therapy Community, and the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT).

My Approach

My work centers on understanding how early experiences and relationships shape the way you see yourself and connect with others. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your inner world, gain insight into repeating patterns, and begin to create meaningful, lasting change. By integrating evidence-based approaches with relational depth, I aim to help you build emotional stability, self-compassion, and stronger connections.

Beyond Therapy

I have a deep interest in human behavior, neuroscience, trauma research, and the science of connection. Outside of my practice, I enjoy spending time with my family, engaging in creative arts, a good cup of tea, and finding relaxation in nature, video games, and self-care.

Find Strength Together

Relationships take work, and healing doesn’t happen in isolation. No matter where you are in your journey, I’m here to help you build deeper connections, gain clarity, and create lasting change—both within yourself and in your relationships with others.
