Emily M. Burchfield, LCPC

Emily has been a colleague of mine for over five years. We have consulted one another about many cases. I have appreciated her clinical observations and insightful advice. I have referred many people to Emily and the feedback I have received about Emily is that she was helpful because she was understanding and offered effective and useful tools to improve how they felt about themselves and their relationships. I experience Emily as caring, intelligent and resourceful. I highly recommend Emily as a therapist.

Me and my husband went in for couples counseling. We went in fine and came out fighting. She asked us the causes of fights, we gave in our own complaints and she repeatedly said things like «these are two different narratives of one situation» and «Again opposite narratives of one situation» as if she has never dealt with a couple before. She literally had nothing else to say.
I asked her at the end of the first session if there are any tips or guidelines for us to follow post session, she said «In the next session we will talk about fighting fairly and with limitations» umm without having to deal with the causes of the fights or at least talking about them? We never went back to her.
Save your time and number of sessions and look up a more competent and experienced person. I’m still paying for that one session in terms of relationship. I wouldn’t recommend her at all.

I have known Emily for over 4 years. I routinely consult with her about counseling related issues and she is very helpful. She cares deeply about her clients and works hard to support and assist them in working through the issues that bring them to therapy. She is adept at many different types of therapy and I have referred clients to her, with very positive feedback. She listens well and has an amazing memory!
