About me
“Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” -Brene Brown. The journey of counseling isn’t always comfortable. It takes us to places we often fear to go. With that fear, we also learn to cope, grow, and manifest a new view on our lives. Things that were once unbearable are easier to carry because you aren’t doing it alone. My name is Emily West, and I'm a licensed practicing counselor. I have been working with clients of all ages for the past seven years. I have a Masters in Community Agency Counseling and a Bachelors in Psychology from Jacksonville State University. Through my practice, I have worked with individuals with a variety of concerns, such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, and stress management. I take an individualized approach to each client, using a variety of cognitive behavioral, solution focused, and client centered techniques.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Emily West. 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.
After being with Emily for three sessions now, I think she is starting to recognize some major issues that I have and gives great advice. I am also starting to be more comfortable around her/therapy in general which is helping me open up more. I am looking forward to our future growth.

Emily is fantastic. I have never been comfortable opening up to a therapist. It’s hard when you don’t feel heard or comfortable. Emily listens, makes me laugh, and just truly gives great advice and structure. I never thought I’d be able to say I look forward to therapy until I was matched with Emily. She even responds to the basic chat quickly. I don’t have much money and live paycheck to paycheck but Emily is someone I need Nanak BFF I’ll be having to continue to work hard to put money back so I can continue to have her. She truly helps me in more ways than she even realizes.
