About me
I am licensed in the state of California with over 14 years of professional clinical experience as a therapist. I have expertise in supporting members in the LGBTQIA2S+ community, as well as clients experiencing depression, anxiety, parenting issues, career difficulties, & coping with life transitions. I work from a place in which I believe you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process and am excited to get started!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Emily Eckstein. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Dr. Eckstein really helps me. What I appreciate about her is that she doesn’t give up on me. I wish I was super organized and scheduled, but I’m not. She keeps checking in till I schedule a meeting. She also responded to me without an appointment. I sent her message and she responded to me right away. I was grumpy during the first few meetings and she never gave up on finding how I respond in texting. I recommend her to everyone!

Dr. Eckstein has been instrumental in helping me understand how to address areas in my life that I find insufficient and give me practical ways to make small changes to get me to where I want to be. I Highly recommend Dr. Eckstein, a true professional and has made someone skeptical of therapy find real value in the practice.

I really appreciate how Dr. Eckstein listens, responds, and provides me to areas to work on outside our sessions. I've only done 2 session so far, but am looking forward to the next and what we might work on moving forward.
