While at Land of Lincoln, Emily represented hundreds of clients and was promoted to senior staff attorney.

"When I started Counciling with Michelle it was a great experience and continued that way. But when asked about billing, never could get a straight answer. Then all of a sudden, I was billed 700 on my credit card with no copies of the charges or billing to my insurance company. This has been a complete disaster on there part. I will not be going back and will not recommend them to anyone else."

"First visit was about 1 hour and 45 minutes. Second visit was 45 minutes due to the therapist being late. I inquired about billing during the first and second visit. I didn’t get a straight answer, but was told I would be billed for three visits due to the first visit going longer than expected. I was also told I should come twice a week vs once and I should get comfortable with virtual meetings. A few days after the second visit I was surprised about the charges on my credit card. I reached out via email and once again was told I’m being charged for three visits and if I could adapt to virtual therapy, it would be best I find a different therapist! I was told to email the office about my billing. After emailing and calling two different times I have yet to get a response. This is the main reason for the 1 star review. Two calls and two emails have gotten me no where. I simply wanted a receipt to turn into my insurance company! This is my first time going to therapy and I was told that sometimes you aren’t going to be a good fit, but for me to be ignored and not given details about billing etc up front, has me seeking therapy to talk about my therapist."
