Our Team
Emily Haygeman, PhD
Hi, I’m Dr. Emily Haygeman, Psychologist and Owner of Empower Psychological Services. I work as a Licensed Psychologist in Oregon and Utah. Through a range of modalities- including individual therapy, family therapy, and psychological evaluation, I offer opportunities for client empowerment. You will notice I do not mention services aimed at “fixing” a problem or “improving” yourself. That is because I believe that each of my clients already has, within and around them, the tools they need in order to heal. Where I come in is to offer my knowledge of “what works” based on the scientific evidence, alongside my compassionate approach to children, teens, young adults, and families.
Who I Work With (not limited to): Neurodivergent and autistic individuals, children and teens dealing with anxiety and depression, those seeking diagnostic clarity through Psychological Evaluation.

Natasha Laumei, MA, LPC, LMHC
Natasha Laumei is an independent therapist contracting with Empower Psychological Services to provide neurodiversity-affirming assessments for Level 1 Autism in adults.
Hi, I’m Natasha Laumei. In addition to providing evaluations with Empower, I have a private therapy practice seeing clients in Oregon, Washington, and Alaska. I approach my work in both roles from a compassionate, strengths-based, collaborative, and trauma-informed foundation. Providing a safe, supportive, and affirming experience for each client I work with is a priority, and throughout your evaluation I will focus on understanding your story and lived experiences as well diagnostic clarity. All of my work is rooted in the belief that health and wellbeing are a right and not a privilege, and I am so grateful to join each of my clients along their journeys of growth and healing.
I am a white, cis, queer, neurodivergent woman, and in the rest of my life I love spending time in nature, being with my sweet dogs and sassy cat, traveling, and diving into my new love of Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
