Emerald Cove Counseling is proud to have a "no wait-list" policy and Spanish-speaking services. We know it's difficult to reach out and we're ready when you are, with therapists who are experienced and available to work with your unique circumstances. Our therapists have clinical expertise and training in mental health issues, trauma-informed care, marriage, divorce, parenting, blended families, adoption, life transitions, cultural adjustment, spirituality, and couples coaching. Our therapists are excited to provide each client with a cove of safety to share their experience, reflect and explore opportunities for growth and change.
Emerald Cove Counseling was born of a collective of therapists with similar visions for helping others to heal and prosper mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Practicing from a place of gentleness and working with our clients’ strengths, we deliver evidence-based treatments, tailored to our clients’ needs. In the spirit of our roots in social work, we offer fair sliding scale fees and pro bono sessions to those with limited resources.
Taking the first step to ask for help is hard. From your first call to us, you will be warmly welcomed and respected. You're invited to meet with one of our therapists for a Free 15-minute Consultation so you're able to connect with the person who feels right for you. From there, you'll be scheduled for a comprehensive assessment. Your therapist will help you explore opportunities for growth and enhanced wellness. You’ll collaborate with your therapist to identify goals and the best treatment modalities for you. You’ll always be provided the safety needed to be your authentic self.
