Emma Spears

Counseling Intern and Office Manager

Emma has been a valued part of Rooted Counseling Center since 2021, first serving as our Office Manager and now continuing her journey with us as a Master’s level intern as she pursues her Clinical Mental Health Counseling degree at Lipscomb University. Her years of working alongside our counselors and clients have given her a unique understanding of the heart of Rooted, making the transition into counseling a natural fit.

Emma graduated from Vanderbilt University in 2018 with a degree in Human and Organizational Development. Through her years at Rooted, she has developed a deep passion for emotional wellness and for creating a space where people feel seen, heard, and supported. Her warmth, organization, and genuine care for others have always been evident in the way she serves both clients and staff, and we are excited to see those qualities continue to shape her work as a counselor-in-training.

Emma is also a professional musician and brings creativity, curiosity, and open-mindedness to everything she does. She is especially passionate about the intersection of creativity, mental health, and personal growth and believes that each person deserves a safe, supportive space to explore their experiences and grow.

Outside of Rooted and graduate school, Emma enjoys making music, traveling, and spending time with her husband, Carson. We are grateful to have had Emma as such an integral part of the Rooted community for so many years and are excited to continue watching her grow into the counselor she is becoming.
