  • "I've been struggling with mental health all my life, particularly depression and ADHD. I didn't realize or think I needed help until I was in a really dark place and was lucky enough to reach out to Emily when I did. I initially found Emily through another organization and when she transitioned to her own independent practice I was glad to be able to continue having her as my psychiatrist. Even though our sessions are remote, I can see how empathetic, kind and receptive she is and appreciate her listening and understanding my personal struggles."
