I’ve spent time with a couple of counselors on Emily’s team at Fortified Souls over the last 5 years. Although I didn’t feel like the first was a match for me, I kept going and tried another counselor who turned out to be perfect. Amber is absolutely wonderful and has helped me immensely in the 3-4 years I’ve been seeing her. Truly could not recommend this practice enough.

It was hard finding the right person to talk to. There are so many therapists out there, but Emily made me feel instantly safe and I couldn’t be happier with my choice.

I’ve been working with Emily for almost a year and I’m so proud of where I am now. I’ve learned so many new skills that helped my confidence, made my day to day easier, and made my relationships better. Having her in your corner is just amazing.

She was there for me when I needed advice and she was there for me when I just needed someone to listen. That’s all I could ask for.
