Emily Zimny, LSW

Position: Mental Health Practitioner

Department: IRMHS (Youth ACT)

Credentials: LSW

Location: Brainerd YACT

Hired: 2025

Trained in/Specialties: MAPS and CBITS

I love being part of the YACT team for many reasons. However, I would say that my favorite part of my job is being able to instill hope and confidence in my clients.

I like being with Northern Pines because they are understanding and flexible. Northern Pines offers many resources and training to help support the providers to continue education and training. In turn, this helps better support our clients. Northern Pines has a welcoming atmosphere, and my co-workers are pretty great too!

I enjoy being outside, going on walks with my dog, Dewey, and attending concerts and sporting events.
