“I came to Emily looking for help during an extremely challenging phase in one of my child’s lives. Emily was able to meet me where I was and over time, she has helped me build a customized skillset and improved mindset to manage mothering, caring for myself, and all that life throws at me.”
what clients are saying
“I found Emily DeBenedictis at a time when Anxiety had become so problematic for me that it, quite literally, was ruining my life and stealing all of my joy. Reaching out for help was terrifying at first, but I am so very glad I did, and I’ve found such relief (and such strength) from our work. Emily offers treatment with the loveliest mix of compassion, warmth, humor, and wisdom; the space she creates to do the work feels so safe. She offers all kinds of approaches and tools - tailored to whatever specific ways anxiety presents itself in your life - and I have used every one of them (effectively) since I began treatment. It can be a challenge to find a provider who meets you exactly where you are and helps you move forward with grace, and patience but also with tenacity - supporting your journey with strength and letting you know you too are strong enough to change. My experience with Emily DeBenedictis has been nothing but positive. Life saving, really. I offer my most hearty recommendation.”
“My work with Emily has empowered me to live better, calmer and stronger. I have observed many positive improvements in my family and my personal well-being as I apply the skills learned in our sessions. I am so grateful to have found Emily DeBenedictis and to have her on my team.
Highly recommend!”
“When my daughter started anxiety medication, her provider told us that it was also essential that she participate in therapy in order to develop techniques to manage her anxiety. I had tried other clinicians but even after participating in therapy for a lengthy amount of time felt that we were not making progress. I could see my daughter struggling more and more week after week. Emily was referred to us by another professional because of her expertise in effectively utilizing a number of therapy techniques. From the very first therapy session, it was evident that Emily was able to meet my daughter just where she was at and skillfully guide her through the process of developing her own toolbox in order to cope with her anxiety. I brought Emily a child who had difficulty leaving the house and participating in typical childhood activities, such as attending birthday parties. Through the therapy process, my daughter was able to blossom into the self that she was meant to be and lead a fuller and happier life. Emily empowered me to be a better parent and offered my husband and I guidance on supporting our daughter. Emily was always patient and kind, never judging. I can still hear Emily’s voice as I take a breath and start my own phrases with “I wonder…” It makes me smile in gratitude every time for the daughter I thought I would lose to anxiety and has instead become such a capable, happy individual.”
