Hello! My name is Emma Foster. Welcome and congratulations on making it here! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 11 years experience. I work with individuals, families, adolescents and couples, I believe that it is valuable to engage mind, body and spirit when working toward becoming more aware of self and taking strides toward some level of self improvement. Life's journey can present with many challenges that can really be hard to navigate. Issues of grief and loss, anxiety, depression and other areas of emotional and mental health are common topics discussed in therapy.
We have journeyed through very turbulent times in the face of a global pandemic. We have been able to grow closer together while still trying to honor our peace and balance our lives. Engaging in therapy can be a little scary as well as comforting. I am here to provide support and work collaboratively in helping you to arrive in new and healthy internal spaces that will enhance how you're able to navigate external places.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

In the short time I've worked with Emmerita her expertise and knowledge has truly helped me breakthrough some of the challenges I've been facing. She is truly a great therapist!
Emma is a fantastic listener. She can really tease out the issue that needs to be addressed. She has a lot of tools that have helped me. I really appreciate Emma's insight and compassion.
So far Emmerita has been an incredible introduction to therapy and I look forward to every appointment
I have only been in a few sessions so farm but Emmerita has flipped the script on me and me realize why I needed therapy in the first place. I came seeking help for my marriage. She made me see that I need to heal myself first and I have been doing so ever since. I appreciate her for helping me reach deeper within myself.
