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