“Emily is an incredible counselor! She is very attentive and is incredibly validating. I worked with Emily for a while and always left me sessions feeling heard and like I knew how to move forward with whatever issue I was having. She always provided suggestions and validation in a non-judgemental tone. I always knew I could talk about anything with Emily and she always made me feel safe to explore my own emotions and provided the tools to do so. ”

Getting to know Emily Toops

*Forms must be completed prior to appointment* Do you want to learn to more effectively navigate the world inside your head and the world at large in a way that doesn't feel like homework? Do you want to develop personalized skills that will make the loads you carry a little lighter? Do you want to find more joy in the day-to-day? Reach out-we'll get there together. I hold a Master's in Counseling from National Louis University, which informs my compassionate and individualized approach to care. NOTE: I do not offer in-person sessions; all of my services are remote/online.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I am a licensed professional counselor who specializes in mood disorders and adjustment to trauma. My style is a combination of person centered talk therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy that emphasizes building client empowerment. I offer radical acceptance, cultural competency, and a genuine love of helping others become who they want to be.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I typically offer a free 20-30 min consultation prior to the first session with a client to make sure we are a good therapeutic fit. Once that's determined, I offer sessions ranging from weekly to every other week for roughly 50 minutes per session.

    I've been seeing Emily for years and she is fantastic. i would refer her to anyone that I don't talk about in therapy!!
    Emily is an incredible counselor! She is very attentive and is incredibly validating. I worked with Emily for a while and always left me sessions feeling heard and like I knew how to move forward with whatever issue I was having. She always provided suggestions and validation in a non-judgemental tone. I always knew I could talk about anything with Emily and she always made me feel safe to explore my own emotions and provided the tools to do so.
    I've been consistently speaking with Emily for a few months now and I have to say, they have been the most effective and compassionate therapist I've spoken with. They give fantastic advice and have really pushed me towards bettering myself despite the impossible circumstances I've dealt with. When I do have bad weeks and am unable to accomplish much, she is incredibly understanding and encouraging.
    Emily is a wonderful therapist. She is kind, empathetic, intelligent, and is flexible to fit my scheduling needs. I’ve been seeing her via Telemedicine video sessions for about 3.5 years now. She has helped me through a variety of life challenges and asks thoughtful questions to help me navigate my mental health. Highly recommend!
