“My experience was great! Emily is very kind and definitely a great listener. I felt comfortable with her right away as that's something I don't usually feel with other therapist I've seen before. She even contacted me before my appointment and we were able to move my appointment one day before. Definitely excited to go back for my next appointment. Plus her office smells great hehe”
