Emily Riale

Hello everyone! My name is Emily, I’m 22 years old, and I’m very excited to be the new Sean’s Room Coordinator. I am a student of Mental Health Counseling at Wilmington University and hold a Bachelor’s in Psychology with a minor in Human Development and Family Services. I believe the ultimate form of healing is becoming the person you needed when you were at your lowest. At my lowest, I had reached a point where years of unaddressed mental health had led me to develop a chronic pain condition that I would have to manage for the rest of my life.

I now find greater meaning in my lived experiences as I use them to resonate with others through wellness education and direct peer support. I know firsthand how intimidating it can be to ask for help but I promise it is a choice you’ll never regret. If you see me at one of our locations, don’t be afraid to ask for a session or strike up a conversation! In my free time, I love spending time in nature, wandering around flea markets, and seeing live music. My music taste is all over the place but at the moment my top three Spotify artists are Joni Mitchel, The Pixies, and Chappel Roan. Hope to see you soon 🙂
