I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and have practiced as a psychotherapist for 14 years. Throughout my career, I've worked with diverse populations in various settings such as community mental health organizations, outpatient programs, and residential facilities.
As a therapist, I strive to understand clients' unique needs and strengths. I value their perspectives and believe their self-awareness is essential to future change. The therapeutic alliance that I have with clients is foundational to our work together and in many ways guides the counseling process.
I often utilize cognitive therapy in my work with clients, which involves understanding thought patterns and emotional triggers. Throughout therapy, I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize cognitive distortions and make healthy behavioral changes. I also utilize attachment theory to support clients in understanding their attachment needs and patterns in relationships so that desired growth can occur.
I have experience treating relationship conflicts, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, trauma, low self-esteem, and stress related to life transitions.
As your therapist, I will support you to better understand your struggles and strengths, identify changes that feel healthy, and progress towards greater wellness.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Emily Ehrhart. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Emily and I have been working for a month and I can say she has been such a relief for me. I was diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety and her techniques have improved my life in so many ways. She is always so dedicated and a really good listener.She completely focus on you as her patient. I'm so grateful I was matched with her and that it worked out amazing.
