Emily Shonk, BS, CT

Hi there! Taking the first step toward counseling can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. My goal is to create a welcoming, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are—without feeling like you need to have everything figured out. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, eating concerns, self-esteem struggles, or simply feeling stuck, I’m here to help you work toward meaningful change.

Hi, I’m Lydia, and I’m currently completing my clinical internship while earning my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of Kentucky. Before beginning my counseling career, I spent more than 20 years in executive leadership roles, where I learned the importance of authentic relationships, thoughtful communication, and helping people navigate high-pressure situations with confidence and compassion.
