What Our Patients Are Saying
“From first asking about teletherapy at a mental health clinic until they had me set up with my therapist at Embrace Health the timing was very prompt and proper. By the end of the first online session I felt very comfortable, like catching up with an old friend and just talking to somebody new that is proud I’ve taken the step to utilize a professional opinion and insight.”
-Embrace Health Patient
“Very positive experience, referring clinic scheduled the appt, and we were able to be seen within 72 hours. The provider asked lots of questions and was able to answer all of ours. For a video visit, it was a positive experience and our needs were met.”
-Embrace Health Patient
“I can’t hear so it was nice that they made this accessible so I am able to have therapy services without struggling to understand what is being said. The therapist was nice, allowed me time to discuss the ways I am struggling, and offered to assist with resources. I feel better having someone in my corner while I am going through such a difficult time.”
