Hello, my name is Emily Minear and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I have been working as a professional counselor for over 5 years now. Before I was a licensed counselor I also worked in a psychiatric hospital setting on adult and geriatric units. I have practiced in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I am also certified and have many years of experience working in Substance Use and Addictions. This is something I am very passionate about. One thing to note is that my schedule right now consists of mostly mornings.

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 awesome!! She is so down to earth and easy to talk to but also holds me accountable. She listens to understand and provides valuable feedback and tools to help get me to where I want to be. I can bring my full, messy self and know that I won't be judged. Instead, I feel welcomed, accepted, validated, and challenged in the best possible way. I've been going to in-person therapists off and on for over 15 years and I've come farther in just 3 sessions with Emily than I have with years of sessions with other therapists. She is amazing!!!

I have talked to other therapist in the past and a lot of them focused on situations from other patients that they have instead of focusing on me and my problems. Emily has not done that one and I really appreciate that because my situation and my problems are so much different than other people's. I would call myself a disaster on some days but she has been very helpful and I greatly appreciate getting to work with her

I really enjoyed Emily. She is a very personable therapist. I’m looking forward to my next session!

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.

Emily is great and I have loved working with her.

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.
Written on Jun 28, 2021 after therapy with Emily for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and self esteem
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.
Written on May 06, 2021 after therapy with Emily for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, sleeping disorders, and anger management
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.

Emily is awesome! She takes the time to listen to your concerns and to help you overcome your barriers. She also focuses on the positives which really helps. I definitely felt a connection right away! I cannot wait to see where this takes me!

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
