Emerald has been a life saver for me.  I began seeing Emerald about a year and a half ago for management of major depression and anxiety.  They have gone out of their way to ensure I had the medication & therapy I needed. – Mel

Emerald therapy has been AMAZING to my son. They all work so well together for the patient’s greater good. – Tiffany 

I’ve been coming to Emerald since 2016. I have tried other therapy places but no place has felt more like home than Emerald. The staff is caring and they want to see you functioning at your best!
