Ally Emig, LCSW, LLC

I’m Ally (she/her) and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS) and Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) in Kentucky (where I currently reside) and Louisiana. I graduated with my Masters in Social Work from Boston College in 2011 and moved to Chicago to begin my career as an eating disorder therapist. I have over a decade of leadership and experience working in the field - from managing an Eating Disorder Partial Hospitalization Program, to being an Outpatient Therapist, to most recently managing the East Coast and Midwest Clinical Assessment Team at Eating Recovery Center. Since I have now settled back into my home state, I am thrilled to get back to the world of outpatient therapy. I am passionate about offering highly specialized care from a HAES, anti-diet perspective for individuals struggling with eating disorders, as well as co-occurring anxiety, OCD, phobias and depression. I believe full recovery is possible and would be honored to walk this journey with you! In addition to therapy, I am dedicated to the education, early detection and intervention, and prevention of eating disorders. I am an Education Specialist and Support Group Facilitator for The National Alliance for Eating Disorders. In this role, I have the privilege of speaking on behalf of The Alliance to external entities such as schools, community organizations, and hospital systems about a variety of topics related to eating disorders. I also regularly co-facilitate their free clinical-led virtual support groups. For more information about The Alliance, please visit their website: www.allianceforeatingdisorders.com. In my free time, you can find me having dinosaur battles with my two rambunctious sons, singing 90's music, shopping for a new cardigan, enjoying nature, or snuggled up with my cat and a good book. I love quotes and metaphors, however, I will 95% of the time butcher their delivery. I look forward to discussing whether therapy with me would be the right fit for you!
