About Us

Paul and Ashley were inspired to create Emote after years of working in group and solo private practice. During these years they took note of all the practice related tasks and to-do’s that distracted them from their clinical development, practice growth, patient care and general work-life balance. Basically, they had a list of complaints. From this list Emote was developed.

Collectively they have experience working in a wide range of practice settings including hospital, long-term inpatient, community mental health, group practice and solo private practice. In terms of work flow, operations and communication they have seen what works and what doesn’t. What they found was that tools and technology were not enough. What providers needed was the expertise of people who had walked the path and found the best solutions, along with passionate and highly-qualified admin experts who serve as the bridge between patients, providers, and technology.

Emote’s mission is to support the practice and business goals of each individual client. The vision is that Emote pays for itself via improved work/life balance, enjoyment of one’s work and an optimized practice. Life is hectic and we want to make your life a little easier.

Emote is dedicated to continually adapting its operations in promotion of a streamlined process personalized to each client’s style and preferences. It is a living product that relies on communication and relationship between each Emote client and practice manager.
