Hi there! Im Emma McAdam, Im a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and I love helping people change. But I get it that understanding mental health can be confusing and stressful, but I also know that theres hope-you can change your brain and resolve painful emotions- and I can walk you through that process.
Ive been working in the field of change and growth since 2004. I got my Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Utah State University and Im currently licensed in the state of Utah. Ive worked in settings like Juvenile Corrections, Adventure Therapy programs, High Schools, Wilderness Therapy programs, an Eating Disorder Treatment Center, a Residential Treatment Center, and Outpatient Therapy.
It can be so hard for so many people to access mental health resources. Theres big obstacles like cost, stigma, not knowing where to look or lack of high-quality local resources, and these make it hard for people to be able to get basic mental health services.
When my first child was born (I have three little girls), I wanted to spend as much time with them as possible when they were little, so I stopped seeing as many clients. But the calls kept coming. Faced with an overwhelming need, and an overactive mind, I decided to do one small thing- I started making videos on mental health topics in my wee-morning hours while my babies were asleep. In bite sized little nuggets, I make mental health skills more accessible through YouTube videos and Online Courses.

good information on black and white thinking

By Helen spencer on 10/24/2020

I am happy with this course but it is presumed every one participating is in the USA .noticed when mentioning seeing a doctor about tests for vitamins etc this is something people do in the USA I guess

By Paul Cox on 10/24/2020

This course is great, so far.

By Stefanie Danker on 10/13/2020

I really appreciate the science behind the techniques. I think it was shared in a way that made sense and giving that research really makes it feel like "This will work" rather than just feeling like it's fluff.

By Shanthi D'Souza on 10/13/2020

Yes. It was a very rich and fascinating course. I gained a number of insights. The tutor is a highly experienced professional. The choice of content and the video presentattions were apt and extremely resourceful.

By Andreas Oberli on 10/10/2020

So far, the most helpful things i have learned about improving your mental health. Great course!

By Laura emiliani on 10/7/2020

For the moment this course is very promising. I am suffering from depression and anxiety and I am really curious about alternatives to medications and simply ways to get better. The main reason to watch this is to be able to help others and notably students if they struggle with mental issues

By Iris Rojas on 10/2/2020

By Darly Duque on 9/24/2020

Yes, very appropriate for me right now

By Kyle Anderson on 9/21/2020

I love this instructor. Ive watched a bunch of her YouTube videos, which have been by far been the most helpful of any of the countless videos Ive watched on mental health. In my mind shes priceless!
