We offer services for children, adolescents, and adults.

Evidence Based +

Each assessment blends rigorous, evidence-based methods with the neurodiversity paradigm and compassionate care.

The Whole Story

Our process is holistic, taking into account the individual’s history, personal strengths and challenges, not just their current symptoms.

Trusted Results

We’ve helped hundreds of clients who consistently report greater clarity, empowerment, and relief following their personal evaluation journey.

 

 

 

 

 

Many of us feel uncertain, confused, or overwhelmed about mental or emotional patterns and how to address them.

Everyone deserves to understand themselves or their child fully and receive the right guidance for their unique personalities.

 

 

 

 

 

At Empower Psychological Services, we understand that seeking diagnostic clarity can feel overwhelming. That’s why we offer high-quality psychological evaluations designed to help tell your story, or your child’s story, in a clear and empowering way. Through these evaluations, we’ll identify your unique strengths and challenges, provide well-researched diagnostic clarity, and offer individualized, best-practice treatment recommendations.

Once the evaluation is complete, we’ll meet to present the results in a helpful, empowering manner. Don’t leave your or your child’s mental and emotional well-being to guesswork. Book an evaluation today and take the first step toward receiving understanding and support with confidence.

The Empowered Approach

1. Complete an individualized evaluation journey

Meet with one of our highly-trained, neurodivergent-affirming clinicians to complete interview, evaluation measures, and questionnaires in order to help us best understand your experiences and current presentation. Following evaluation, you will meet with the clinician to ensure you fully understand the results, any diagnoses given, and recommendations.

2. Receive a comprehensive report with personalized recommendations.

Your report includes evaluation results, strengths and challenges, diagnosis (if present), and individualized recommendations for each of your environments (e.g. home, school, workplace, social, disability, etc).

3. Live your life with support and empowerment.

Research shows that when treatment is individualized to your unique presentation (neurotype, strengths, and challenges), it is more effective. Following evaluation, we will make any referrals and connections needed in support of your growth and empowerment.

Dr. Haygeman was the first psychologist to truly understand and respect our daughter. Our experience with evaluation and diagnosis was positive and affirming the entire way through. I’m so grateful!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Empower Psychological Services. From the very beginning, they approached our 10-year-old with so much passion, patience, and understanding that it immediately put at ease. As parents, we were very cautious about finding someone who truly understands and affirms neurodivergent experiences, and these ladies nailed it!

Their ability to connect with our kiddo was nothing short of remarkable. They took the time to listen, to observe, and to understand—not just rushing to conclusions, but truly seeing our son for who he is. The diagnosis process felt more like a collaborative journey rather than a clinical assessment.

What stood out most was their commitment to neurodivergent-affirming practices. Dr. Haygeman provided resources and guidance that align with our values, ensuring that our kid feels empowered and celebrated for his unique strengths and perspective.

We feel so fortunate to have found such compassionate and knowledgeable professionals. If you’re looking for someone who will honor and affirm neurodivergence while providing exceptional care, we wholeheartedly recommend Empower Psychological Services.

Working with Dr. Emily & the Empower team has been nothing short of life changing for our family. We have had 3/4 of our family members see Dr. Emily for diagnosis and she is always patient, understanding, affirming and caring. Not only does Dr. Emily have great rapport with her clients, she provides comprehensive documentation and RESOURCES for after diagnosis, which has been so helpful for us learning how to create stability and function in our neurospicy home.

We had an excellent experience with Empower Psychological Services. The staff were responsive and clear from the intake meeting to the final written report. We really sensed that Dr. Emily Haygeman understood and supported our young adult. She was non-pathologizing about neurodivergence, and also LGBQT affirming! She was very thoughtful about letting our young adult lead the process of sharing information with parents. Her assessment helped us greatly with our questions, and she provided very relevant resources.

We felt very confident in the results and that Empower Services did an excellent and very professional job.

Working with Empower Psychological Services, even more specifically Natasha, was such a lovely experience. As a Queer and neurodivergent adult, it can be super anxiety-inducing to access care related to trauma, neurodivergency, and Queerness, and I felt super supported and seen. I am so happy I found y’all!!
