Emily Prentice, MSW, LMSW
Supervised by Doris Muniz, LCSW-S
Staff Therapist

Emily works with adult patients in the PHP and IOP programs at Esperanza. She is an individual therapist and facilitates groups.

Emily earned her BM in Music Theatre at Baldwin Wallace University and spent some years pursuing the arts. Emily then committed to a career helping others and received her MSW in Micro Social Work, with a certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy, from The University of Georgia.

She gained valuable experience leading groups and working with clients with eating disorders as a mental health counselor at a residential eating disorder facility, Walden Behavioral Care. Emily also worked as a therapist in an outpatient private practice supporting clients with disordered eating, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. She is a certified yoga teacher with experience providing yoga instruction to people with eating disorders.

From the moment I committed to becoming a therapist, I knew I wanted to work with those recovering from eating disorders. As a social worker, I consider the systemic drivers that cause and sustain disordered eating, including anti-fat bias and weight stigma. I use a strengths-based approach, incorporating ACT, CBT, DBT, and somatic practices, to support each client’s unique path to leading a more aligned and fulfilling life.
