Emily Gutierrez, LCMHC, LCPC

Emily helps me understand my situation from different points of view. It helps me see how my reactions may not come across the way I intend them too. She poses really good questions that foster thinking and growth. She also picks up on instances where I just need someone to listen. She’s wonderful.

Emily has been of immense help in managing my intrusive thoughts and anxiety.

A lovely and professional counselor who not only gives practical ways to improve mental health but genuinely listens and cares for your well-being. She comments on both your personal concerns and also those which she has encouraged you to think about in that particular week. I have nothing bad to say about my experience, I have seen a big change in my mental state and the ways I perceive situations around me.

Written on Jan 18, 2021 after therapy with Emily for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and self esteem

Frankly, I'm really impressed with the betterhelp service so far. I wasn't expecting it to be such a long term thing, but I feel no desire at all to leave online counselling just yet.

I really like Emily. She's friendly and attentive, and is a great help when it comes to dealing with a lot of different issues. I like how personable she is; it doesn't feel like I'm talking to someone who's trying to categorise my issues to a textbook, but someone with thoughts and feelings and an intent to help me make some changes.
The response times are always quick, and I like how she remembers specific details of things you've said in the past, it helps with trying to understand the current problems and how they connect, and therefore how you can go about fixing them.

I am completely comfortable to share, and don't feel like I have to edit anything; she's completely non-judgemental, and extremely empathetic.
I think that that is sometimes a quality lost in people in the profession, sometimes the professional psychology can get in the way of understanding the human experiences behind these problems, but Emily just feels like another person to talk to. She's clearly very educated in an abundance of issues; which is helpful when so many different things can make up a problem, but manages to help in a very human way. I don't feel like another textbook case, and I feel genuinely supported.

Online counselling has been a huge help, and I would completely recommend Emily Gutierrez.

Written on Jan 11, 2021 after therapy with Emily for 4 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, and self esteem
