Emily Pavick, LCSW, MFA
As a therapist, my approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and a deep commitment to helping clients navigate life's challenges. My clients should know that I prioritize creating a safe and non-judgmental space where they can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences openly. I believe in the power of a strong therapeutic relationship and work collaboratively with my clients to identify goals and tailor interventions that resonate with their unique needs. I use a blend of modalities to include amye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR), IFS (Internal Family Systems), Somatic IFS, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, Visualization, Meditation, and Somatics. As a former English and writing professor, I've worked as a clinician for more than 6 years, and as yoga teacher for more than 15. Individual sessions help to address Anxiety, Depression, Mood Disorders, ADHD, Trauma/PTSD/CPTSD, Insomnia, Self-Esteem, Self-Care, Life Balance, Goal-setting, Coping Skills, Addiction, Boundaries, Communication, and a general feeling of being "stuck."

Dr. Nic Choren Pavick – Healer, Mover, Guide
Nic’s journey began in cancer research at the NIH, but her heart led her away from the lab and into the world of holistic healing. With a deep belief in the body’s innate ability to restore itself, she transitioned from pharmaceuticals to physical therapy—combining science with movement, touch, and intention.
A lifelong dancer and athlete, Nic sees movement not just as therapy, but as a path to vitality. After earning her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from NYU in 2002, she’s spent decades expanding her healing toolkit—becoming a Women’s Health Specialist, Strength and Conditioning Coach, Pilates Instructor, and Certified Health Coach.
Whether helping someone recover from pain or unlock new levels of performance, Nic brings wisdom, heart, and a powerful reminder: your body is capable of more than you think. She leads with purpose, blending modern science with nature-inspired wellness practices to help others reclaim their health and live with joy.
Outside the clinic, Nic finds magic in dance, nature, astrology, and motherhood. She’s traveled the country, touched countless lives, and continues to grow—driven by curiosity, compassion, and a calling to help others rise.
