Text Today To Get Started
The hardest step is often the first- let’s take it together.
Life is filled with both joys and challenges. My goal is to help you navigate moments when you feel stuck, down or uncertain about yourself or your relationships while also guiding you toward a life rich in meaning and connection.
I’m here to support you through difficult times and to remind you to celebrate your successes along the way.
Emily Fiedtkou
Emily is a licensed marriage and family therapist at a Little Light Therapy Group. She is committed to fostering a space where you feel both encouraged and challenged. Each session is tailored to your unique needs and incorporates evidence-based practices like Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness and cognitive interventions.
If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it’s not your path. Your own path you make with every step you take. That’s why it’s your path.

Why do I use a DBT-informed approach?
Dialectal behavior therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based practice that is effective for treating anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. In therapy, we are always balancing acceptance and change, which I believe is fundamental to the therapeutic process.
I often hear from clients who have done therapy in the past that they enjoyed talk therapy but it did not help them apply the changes to their life. I find that holding space to process your emotions, while providing you with tangible skills enables you to create the life or relationship of your dreams.
