Emily is quite literally the best therapist I've ever had. There's no words. Emily understands and guides me in the way I need. She doesn't just patronize me and try to make me feel better. She takes the time to understand and help me understand.

I'll only ever have great things to say about Emily. She's kind, caring, supportive, listens to my rambles, and manages to get me laughing by the end of pretty much every session.

Emily is my life saver, literally! When I began therapy with her I was in a really dark place. After a year of therapy, I can honestly say that I'm in a really good place and still meet with Emily to keep me in that good place. She cares and she listens!

Emily is the perfect fit for me. I have even mentioned to her how surprised I am that I was matched with such a good fit on the first time. We clicked from our first meeting and I can’t imagine having another therapist.

Emily is the best! She strikes the perfect balance between being understanding and compassionate while also pushing me to stretch beyond my comfort zone so I can learn and grow. Her guidance has helped me become more confident and given me tools I need to work through grief, anxiety, uncertainty, and anger. Some of the things I've been struggling with the most this year. I can't recommend her enough!

Emily is a rockstar and very easy to talk to, I really like the challenges that she sends, they feel really on topic with the things we talk about. She keeps a messages open for in between sessions if you need to get in touch with her. The sessions have been very light and enjoyable even when everything else feels heavy.

Emily is like the perfect therapist for me she, we seem to be a lot of like other than obviously she's a lot smarter than me and has a lot more knowledge. She listens to everything I have to say and gives me feedback she's very blunt open and honest which I really appreciate. I really wish there were more people out there like her but I haven't met any yet. I'm glad she's young because I would not want to talk to any other therapist

She's great. I appreciate the way she seems more like a friend, with expertise, rather than a stoic body that analyzes me.

Emily has the demeanor that works for me, but this is because I hear knowledge, listening, understanding, and linking my concerns and challenges together. She is so much better than the first therapist I had. I view her to really care and not just fulfill the session. She seems to care and understands. That means a lot and is powerful

Emily is a great counselor to work with! She is understanding, patient, but still able to nail down the root causes of my issues. I would highly recommend her!

Emily seems to truly care about her clients. She helps me see good in troubling situations. She offers ways to think more positively, gives me assignments, and tells of available resources.

She’s kind and easy to talk to.
Written on Jul 07, 2021 after therapy with Emily for 1 month on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, and sleeping disorders
She is super kind and really awesome. I was worried about BetterHelp because I'm not super conversational and She can get me talking. I really like how she is super curious to learn about the interests of her patients. In my previous attempts at counseling I felt like I wasn't cared about but with Emily I feel like she not only cares about my mental health she cares about me as a person.

Emily is amazing. I’ve had a very rough couple of months dealing with a loved ones death because of their addiction, and Emily has been phenomenal in supporting me and helping me understand. She is thoughtful, kind, empathetic, and very relatable. Her sessions are always super helpful and it almost feels like I’m talking to a friend instead of a therapist or counselor. She has provided me with challenges to work on the areas I need to work on and provided practical steps and help along the way. Grief, trauma, and addiction are not easy subjects and I truly appreciate Emily helping me through my struggles.

Emily puts me at ease and has given some useful advise for action steps. I’m enjoying my counseling with her.

It took me a long time to accept that I needed to seek help; while visiting with Emily is only one facet of what I'm doing to improve myself and my mental health, she has been a HUGE help and an amazing resource. Especially being so accessible through this program.

I've been working with Emily for just a couple weeks and it's hands down the best decision I've made for myself lately. From our first video session, we connected so well and I felt comfortable talking to her immediately. I look forward to our sessions each week and feel excited to continue these services. I would 100% recommend Emily and BetterHelp to friends and family.

Emily is great, she understands me so well and gets where I'm coming from, I'd recommend her to a close friend or family member in a heartbeat
Written on Apr 27, 2021 after therapy with Emily for 3 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, self esteem, and career difficulties
Emily has helped me pin point and clarify what I am thinking and feeling about issues in my life I was struggling with when I started therapy. She is very good at listening to me and giving me tips and tools to use when communicating with people in my life - family members, spouse, coworkers, etc. about those difficult topics. Even when she knows that I won't like what she has to say, she tells me anyway and pushes me to better myself and challenge my ideas and thinking patterns! I would highly recommend Emily as a therapist. She is kind, she is calm, she is understanding, and she can even make me laugh when I'm crying. She always seems to know what to say to help me navigate through my life without telling me what to do. She trusts me to make those decisions and supports me in my choices without judgement.

Emily is amazing! It is usually very difficult for me to open up and talk to people but she is very easy to talk to. A great listener and provides a lot of helpful feedback! I would recommend her to anyone.

I think she’s super great at what she does, she listens, and offers her advice and help. She even allows room for improvement by welcoming challenges in your daily life
Written on Mar 17, 2021 after therapy with Emily for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflicts, eating disorders, self esteem, and coping with life changes
She was just incredible. She understood me and didnt make me feel like I was wasting my time as I have felt in standard therapy years ago.
I'm NOT canceling my account because of her but because of hard times. I loved my sessions with her and would love to do this again with her when I'm more financially stable. Thanks and farewell Emily. <3
