Before Emily, therapy was more like going through the motions
I never really saw an impact from therapy. With Emily, I have such a different perspective on therapy. Emily makes me feel heard. She recognizes that the experiences I go through and the feelings that I feel are hard. Her personality makes me feel as if I am talking to a best friend - she truly cares about me and my progress. Her warmth and compassion fosters a safe and welcoming environment for us to make discoveries about myself, work through tough topics, and celebrate milestones of any size.
She helps to empower me with the tools to combat my anxiety.
Something that I really appreciate about Emily is her ability to explain the science behind what I am feeling - it makes my feelings and experiences feel valid and real. It’s like she helps talk though what is happening behind the scenes of what I am feeling. She does this in a way that gives me back control, which is a huge feeling to have for someone who has struggled with anxiety for a long time. She helps to empower me with the tools to combat my anxiety.
Outside of our sessions, I am regularly using tools Emily has taught me to work through my anxiety. Additionally, Emily encourages me to reach out to her if I am ever in need of additional support - this is one of the many ways that Emily consistently shows up for me. I feel very grateful to have Emily on my team, her insight and encouragement has been truly life-changing.
Even though our sessions are once a week, I feel like I have Emily as a resource everyday.
Working with Emily has been an amazing experience
Her welcoming and non-judgmental personality creates a supportive environment that encourages open dialogue. Emily consistently demonstrates unwavering support throughout our journey, fostering a sense of trust and security. She excels at guiding introspective thinking, often posing the question, "how does that make you feel?" Her patient approach to dissecting thought processes and offering thoughtful challenges has significantly contributed to my personal growth. She is reliable and responsive to my needs. I look forward to our sessions as they not only facilitate personal development but also provide a valuable and enriching experience
Working with Emily has led to many transformations in my life.
Previously, I often grappled with the pressure to be perfect and struggled to acknowledge my efforts and growth. Through Emily's guidance, I've learned to embrace imperfection, select meaningful relationships to invest in, and prioritize self-care and acceptance. Our sessions have significantly helped maintain my recovery from an eating disorder and heightened my self-awareness regarding the impacts of my OCD and depression. Emily's consistent support during times of change is really valuable.
My life shifted positively soon after starting work with Emily
After identifying old habits and ways of thinking, she helped me create a new narrative of how I view myself and the way I approach everyday experiences. I walked in as a young 20-something having difficulty navigating a new city, and I can confidently say I now feel free of the thoughts that were holding me back.
