Who We Are

Emily Rose Barr is a mental health therapist and founder of A Soul Awake Psychotherapy, LLC, where she works with women struggling with depression, anxiety, life transitions, and similar concerns. Emily’s drive to advance equality and bolster traditionally underserved communities dates back to her time as an undergraduate student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where she served as a member of the Girls Advocacy Project, a program that connects adolescent girls involved in the juvenile justice system with trained advocates for 10 to 15 weeks to pursue their chosen goals.

Prior to establishing her private practice, Emily earned her master’s degree in counseling psychology from Loyola University Maryland. She went on to work as a therapist in the Baltimore City School System, where her efforts focused on improving outcomes for children and adolescents with developmental, depressive, anxiety, disruptive, and trauma-related disorders. She further served as a technical writer for The Mosaic Group, a nationally recognized consulting firm and certified women-owned small business, where she developed strategic content for key stakeholders in the health and human services fields.

A Midwest native and Pacific Northwest transplant, Emily is thrilled to call Seattle home. She believes that there are various responsibilities accompanying her identity as a woman, including working for and promoting women’s equality, honoring women’s legacy, and empowering women to go after their dreams in a society that often encourages otherwise. In addition to serving on the Women’s Commission, Emily volunteers for PEPS, Backpack Brigade, and the Seattle Symphony. Emily is incredibly honored to be a part of the Women’s Commission and can’t wait to see what it accomplishes in the coming years!
