Emily Bogaev, MS, LPC, NCC
Welcome to Bella Vista Counseling and Wellness, I am glad you are here. My name is Emily Bogaev and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I received a Master’s of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Western Carolina University in Asheville, North Carolina. While I have over nine years of experience working with individuals across the developmental lifespan, I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, and their families. During my journey to becoming a counselor, I had the opportunity to work with children and families in both inpatient and outpatient settings. It was during this time that I discovered my passion for working with children and adolescents and helping them find their voice.
I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, peer relationships, family dynamics, Autism, and ADHD. I believe that each individual has their own unique story to tell. Due to this, I feel that an individual cannot be defined by their present circumstances, but should instead take into consideration the different pieces of their story as a whole and the pieces that have left to be added. I am grateful to be in a position that allows me to hear clients' stories, walk alongside children and families as they encounter various struggles, and develop new ways to combat and heal from the hardships that they have endured along their journey.
Fun facts about me:
I love to travel and explore new places! One of my favorite places in the world is Italy.
I grew up in a small town in the mountains of Virginia and it is my favorite “Bella Vista” or beautiful view.
I am a fan of all things Disney and consider myself a kid at heart!
In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, singing, and going for walks with my dog Lily!
