Emily Lansinger
MSW, CSWA
She/Her
Emily became a social worker because of her own prior experience in therapy and desire to support others on their journeys to reclaim their narratives and become the best and most authentic versions of themselves. Emily values connection and believes in empowering others through strengthening their relationships with themselves and those around them.
Before becoming a social worker, Emily worked as a recruiter for various companies based in Baltimore, Maryland. Working as a recruiter strengthened Emily’s interpersonal skills and ability to identify individuals’ unique strengths and experiences.
Emily has lived in Bend since 2022, when she moved from the east coast to experience living in a new place that allowed her access to the outdoors. Emily enjoys spending time hiking, backpacking, and fly fishing in the summer with her partner, and snowboarding in the winter with friends. Emily enjoys time by herself by reading, running, and traveling solo to see new places. Emily is honored to work with clients in a collaborative and safe space, supporting them in achieving their goals and creating meaningful change.
