History
Partnering with MLV (2018) gives us a home base from which to offer after-school programs and therapeutic services for kids, adults, parents, and families on the Lower East Side. We feel very fortunate to find such a supportive partner in Amy Kraus, the incredible people who work at MLV, and the amazing preschool community they have cultivated over the years. After working independently for over 10 years, Emery founded Water & Stone (2015) to meet the needs of people in the community and the therapists who serve them. The company started out offering individual therapy, group therapy, and community services. It has grown and added continuing education workshops, professional development, and community classes.
