Hi, I'm Dr. Emily Haygeman, Licensed Psychologist and Owner of Empower Psychological Services. 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.

"In the 6 months following my training with Dr. Emily, I've completed many evaluations and feel very comfortable and confident in doing them. It's been extremely gratifying to walk through this process with clients. I can't thank Dr. Emily enough for their guidance, specifically the warm and affirming way they approach evaluation."

- Gina, LPC

"I have worked with Dr. Emily on wraparound care for a client before, and I was so impressed with the thoroughness of information that was provided to the client. When I found out I could train with her, I was so excited at the opportunity. I have attended many other trainings about different topics relating to neurodiversity, and I found this one to be the most inclusive of both marginalized/intersectionality of clients, as well as embracing the identities/needs of providers. I appreciated all of the supporting resources that were provided, this is definitely a comprehensive training that is worth the investment."

- Kendra, LPC

"This course is a must for clinicians seeking to align their work with the principles of neurodiversity while delivering high-quality evaluations. If you’re looking for a training that blends evidence-based practices with a compassionate, neurodivergent-affirming perspective, I can’t recommend this course and Dr. Haygeman enough!"

- Yulia, LPC
