"Dr. Carey was extremely helpful during my divorce. She was my unbiased opinion that allowed me to plead my case openly and honestly with no judgement and a fair assessment of the situation.
During this time I chose to be completely sober and allowed myself to think clearly about all of the feelings I was going through. Dr. Carey was supportive, understanding, and provided feedback that allowed me to make the best decisions for my particular situation.
I would recommend seeing Dr. Carey for anything, she was a tremendous help in my life and I can only imagine how many others she has and will continue to help find their path."
- Johnson & Wales Alum 08' • February 2017"Emily helped me develop coping skills for my anxiety and stress. She also helped me create small goals for myself so I am not so overwhelmed with what life throws at me."
- Young professional woman in her 30s • February 2017"Emily has been working with our teenage daughter learning various coping strategies and alternate ways to think of things. She has assisted her with finding ways to make her “less anxious” and it is such a blessing to have found someone that connects to her. She is awesome. I have recommended her to two different families and they are just as happy."
