Coplin Health Systems is pleased to welcome behavioral health provider Emily Cinnamon to PHS Health and Wellness Center and at Parkersburg Family Care (Emerson). Cinnamon brings knowledge and experience in the mental health field and will provide quality care to patients of all ages.

“I’m excited to be working with an amazing team of skilled therapy professionals, supporting the well-being and mental needs of Coplin Health Systems patients,” Cinnamon said. “There is nothing more rewarding than helping individuals and families meet their behavioral health goals and gain confidence in their ability to reach their full potential.”

Cinnamon earned her Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, AZ, in October 2022.

Cinnamon said she values the opportunity to guide her patients through moments of life challenges, helping them to improve their individual mental health and the health of their relationships.

“I have a passion for connecting with my patients and creating a safe space where they can explore growth and healing,” Cinnamon said. “Emotions can be difficult to manage at times, and therapy is a safe environment where people can be themselves.”
