Jared Emery, LPC

"I have been bringing my 11 year old son to Jared for several sessions and each time I see some improvement from my son who has behavioral issues related to ADHD and oppositional defiance disorder. Jared has been very relatable and helpful according to my son. It also helps that sessions are available after 5 PM most days."

"In August 2017 I accidentally scheduled an appointment with Jared when I intended to be seeing a doctor in his office. I am so thankful for the mix up! I have now been seeing Jared regularly for the past 1 1/2 years. He has helped me tremendously in transitioning through a phase of life I was afraid to face. I recently moved away from Tuscaloosa and couldn't imagine starting over with another therapist... Jared kept me as a patient and we now have face time sessions. His encouragement and wise counsel is something I think everyone could benefit from. I highly recommend him!"

"I’ve been seeing Jared for almost 5 years. He’s helped me through a lot counseling wise but also worked with my dad when it came to the insurance filing. He’s awesome and I’d recommend him to everyone!"

"My son lived out of town and went to Jared for help. He was having my son pay $40-60 co-pay each visit. I have supplemental insurance which pays me back for copays. However, for some reason the refunds were sent back to Jared. After I contacted the insurance it took a couple of weeks to get the process rolling to get my money back to me. I spoke to the Jared's receptionist multiple times asking about the money. Once she told me that the money had come in it was about another 3-4 weeks before I received a partial payment with no explanation. I called and was told that my son had missed an appointment and there was a $100 fee held out. This was right before Christmas and money was very tight so I asked if there was any way to wave the fee this once and refund me the $100. I was told that only Jared could make that decision. I left a message for him to call me which he never did. After about a dozen messages I showed up at his practice. He was very smug and acted like I was "harassing" his receptionist about the situation. I let him know that if he had bothered to return my call and explain then I wouldn't have been there. He may have been ok as a counselor, but I have no respect for someone who runs a business that refuses to answer legitimate calls. If he had even showed me any understanding rather than the smugness that he showed I would not have written this bad review. I understand that my son broke the rules, but I didn't break any and deserved the common courtesy of speaking to me for an explanation of why he wouldn't consider returning my $100. My son will NOT be back to Jared!"
