Emma Buchanan, LICSW 

Education: Master of Social Work, Smith College  

How I work with students: I believe all of us deserve to be seen, heard and respected. My goal in therapy is to create a safe space for you to express who you are now and who you hope to become in the future so that I can support you on your journey. 

Professional interests:  Neurodivergence, Life transitions, Addiction, Chronic Pain, Grief and Loss, Identity and Self-advocacy 

Personal Approach to wellness: I’ve found wellness to be all about balance- some days for me that means a long hike and other days that means watching TV with my cat.  

Languages: English (fluent) 

Emma holds Let’s Talk for the School of Pharmacy and the Foster School of Business. 

Let’s Talk is a program that connects UW students with support from experienced counselors from the Counseling Center without an appointment. 

Counselors hold drop-in hours via videoconference to provide insight, solutions and information about other resources. Let’s Talk drop-in visits are free, confidential and there is no appointment necessary. 

Let’s Talk offers informal consultation – it is not a substitute for regular therapy, counseling or psychiatric care.
