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. A fantastic listener, she helps you examine yourself in ways that are comfortable to you, while making sure you are aware of the things you should work on and address. Would highly recommend.

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.

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 by K.A. on Apr 20, 2021 after therapy with Emily for 3 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, eating disorders, anger management, 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

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

Phenomenal counselor and human being. Every session is casual (yet professional), informative and fun. I always walk away feeling better and with goals to work on to help me in my future. She treats me like a normal person and not someone to analyze, which I greatly appreciate. I highly recommend her.

I am someone who does not like counseling but Emily has helped me overcome that and I have begun to work through issues that have been stealing my joy. She is very understanding and supportive.

Written by A.N. on Dec 03, 2020 after therapy with Emily for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, grief, and anger management

I really have enjoyed working with Emily. She’s kind, understanding, and always willing to listen. She doesn’t make you feel like you are a burden to her when you come to her with your issues which is always great. I will enjoy working with her for the next couple months!
