Emma Smith is a licensed professional counselor with a private practice based in Nashville, Tennessee. She also serves clients virtually in Texas, Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C. Smith holds certifications in trauma and transgender health care and is a certified sex therapist. Her private practice offers individual and relationship therapy, as well as consultation, with a focus on sexual and religious trauma, sex therapy and LGBTQ+ health care.
Prior to her private practice, Dr. Emma worked for the United States Marine Corps in various embedded-civilian roles, served on advisory boards for military families and was an early advocate for LGBTQIA competency for sexual assault response teams and open transgender military service. Her therapeutic approach is grounded in existential-feminist and trauma-informed lenses, and she is dedicated to supporting survivors of sexual assault and queer, trans and nonbinary individuals and couples.
She currently serves on the board of directors for the Modern Military Association of America and is a contributing faculty member at Walden University. Dr. Emma also authors a blog/podcast, “The Intimate Philosopher,” on Substack.com. She is a graduate of the University of Scranton and Walden University.
