What would it feel like to be heard, to know that you are valued and cared about and to believe that there is real hope for your future? Are you struggling, anxious, grieving, overwhelmed? You are not alone. Life is really hard right now. You deserve self care and support. Difficult and painful experiences can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and others. I offer you a safe place to talk about and explore all those concerns.
Together we will identify specific issues and needs to establish achievable goals. Working collaboratively throughout the counseling and coaching process, we will continuously evaluate your progress as you become stronger and more confident in all of your life decisions.
From me you can expect warmth, empathy, humor and the use of practical tools that you can start applying right away. I will bring to every session an earnest desire to facilitate your growth and healing and will walk alongside you so that you never feel alone.
I work with individual clients and couples from all walks of life. I have more than 18 years of counseling experience specializing in depression, anxiety, trauma recovery, grief and loss and lifestyle adjustments. Most recently I have been serving military families and first responders. I applaud you for taking this first step toward wellness. Please feel free to contact me today!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Edna is fantastic! What a difference she has made in my life!!!
Edna is very caring and supportive.
When I have a session with Edna I am treated with respect & compassion. She is honest and genuine. Edna always has suggestions that will help me too and the session is like talking to a very wise friend.
What I find best about Edna is her ability to meet a person where they are at. Whatever subject I am interested in bringing up and whatever emotional state I am in, she's able to meet me there and effectively communicate with me. I think it's a valuable skill she has developed over long practice and I am grateful to get the benefits of it.
She has been wonderful in counseling my husband and I through a tough season. She has so much wisdom and insight. Highly recommend.
Edna is amazing
She is professional, respectful, and offers a variety of useful tools.
Edna is exactly who I needed by my side in this process. Her ability to listen and provide well-tailored guidance is everything I could’ve hoped for in dealing with a therapist. She has become a safe place for me to turn to, knowing she will listen and provide me with honesty, care, and support.
Edna has been an incredible source of therapy. She listens, offers great recommendations and is always empathetic but puts things into prospective with respect and honesty.
Edna is easy to talk to and exactly what I needed as a therapist at this time.
Edna has been so great, she’s the sweetest person, she listens, gives advice, and provides so many helpful resources, like videos, books, speeches, and proper wording. i’m so glad to have been a match with her
Edna is an angel
Edna is amazing and has been a huge help.
She is the first therapist to actually try and help me with my issues and not just give me paperwork on how to deal with distress. I am grateful to have her since I feel genuinely listened to. I also appreciate that she laughs along with me when I make jokes and doesn't just look at me like I'm crazy for laughing about my problems. Overall, I just appreciate her as a person and resource.
Edna, in our short time working together I can see how amazing you are and how genuine you are. Thank you for everything so far!!
I’m very happy with how Edna approaches topics and really cares about ways of helping you be a better version of yourself. She’s honest and sincere and I really appreciate how genuine she is.
Very helpful
Ms. Emerson is amazing and helped me get through the worst time of my life. I’m forever grateful to her. I know in my heart she truly cares and made every effort to be available when I needed help coping with my feelings . Forever Grateful!
Edna was such a perfect match for me!! I am so thankful for her insight, understanding and ability to meet me exactly where I was on my first session. Her recommendations and guidance have given me the extra boost to create goals and put steps in place to reach the growth.
Best of the best.
Edna is always helpful and supportive, and still tells me hard truths I need to hear. She helps me organize my thoughts so I can make progress with her and on my own
Edna is a great therapist. She listens and offers great advice.
Very good
Edna has been able to help me rid myself of heavy burdens I have been carrying in my mind for a long time. Just having someone to non-judgementally listen who has helpful insights has been so wonderful! She knows just the right questions to ask to help me identify what has been giving me so much trouble for so long and presents ideas for me to consider to help with healing. I'm so grateful!
Very nice lady listens well
I cannot recommend Mrs. Emerson enough! She truly listens to what I have to say, understands where I am coming from and sees things in my perspective and helps provide pathways forward for me to help my mental health
Only had two sessions, but so far so good. Glad I was matched with Edna!
I would highly recommend Edna Emerson. She's a good listener, gives great advice for solutions.
Best listener! I am 28 yo female, have a lot of life changes going on and definitely through a lot at her and she was able to help me even from the first session, which was prior therapists I have seen it take much longer. Edna has been able to identify patterns that make so much sense but I couldn’t have put together on my own. I feel better after only 2 sessions. I will be continuing with Edna. Highly recommend Edna!
After nearly 7 months with Edna, I can say that she is so supportive and kind. Throughout all of our sessions, she definitely provided great advice and I continuously felt heard. Really loved speaking with Edna. Thank you!
She is vey nice and ready to listen. She also provided resources for me to try if it works for me. She encourages and motivates
Edna is great. She is wise and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend her.
I think Edna is patient with me and helps me work through my emotions and feelings. It is difficult, but I matter!
Edna Emerson is an amazing person who has helped me so much I honestly can't explain how much just knowing someone is there to hear with open ears and offer advice and help means when it feels like you're alone.
Edna was very attentive and gave constructive criticism. She was understanding and truly reassured me of my potential. I highly recommend her!
