Emily, or Em, is a psychologist with Still Waters Counseling, offering comprehensive psychological testing, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) testing, and psychotherapy. 

She holds Bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and Neuroscience from Miami University and a Master’s degree in Clinical Behavior Psychology from Eastern Michigan University. Em has had several years of experience working with a variety of clients, including high-school students with individualized education plans (IEPs), children in the foster care system, individuals seeking ASD services from the state, and people of all ages seeking psychological and neuropsychological assessment. 

As an assessment psychologist, Em’s passion is helping clients to learn more about themselves – their strengths and weaknesses, unique barriers and talents, and their needs. Her goal is to give clients the information they need to connect to resources, improve their daily functioning, and move through life more easily. 

As a therapist, Em enjoys connecting with and understanding her clients as whole people, not just the collection of symptoms that prompted them to seek help. Through the course of therapy, she collaborates in her clients’ journeys of self-understanding and growth, exploring how their personal history affects their current difficulties to lead to lasting change. Em’s therapeutic interests include working through trauma, interpersonal struggles, anxiety, and identity exploration, especially sexual orientation and gender identity.
