Larissa Emery, MHRT-c

Larissa Emery is the Case Management Team Lead and Program Development Coordinator at The Integrated Life. With a diverse background in supporting individuals facing mental health challenges and co-occurring disorders in both inpatient and outpatient settings, she brings a deep understanding of trauma-informed care to her work.

​

Her own experiences with trauma and grief have shaped her passion for Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and the lifelong impact of trauma. She is dedicated to ongoing education and advocacy, striving to bring ACEs research to the forefront of mental health care.

​

In her leadership role, Larissa is committed to empowering both clients and case managers. She ensures that individuals receive the support, resources, and guidance they need while advocating for their voices and choices. She believes clients should take the lead in their own care, with case managers providing direction and moral support along the way.

​

Larissa also has extensive experience working with parents navigating the Children’s Behavioral Health Services (CBHS) system. She understands the pain and challenges families face when home is not a safe option for their child. She firmly believes that people are not inadequate—the system often is—and she works tirelessly to help families navigate it with compassion and advocacy.
