Every child develops in their own way. When questions arise about your child’s learning, behavior, or emotional well-being, it can be difficult to know what it typical and what may need support.

Dr. Emily Gibson provides thoughtful, developmentally informed psychological evaluation and care for children and adolescents. She works closely with families to better understand strengths, clarify concerns, and create practical next steps that support growth at home and at school.

    Emily helps children and adolescents develop insight, confidence, and a sense of control over their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Empowerment begins with understanding your strengths and results in the confidence to reach your goals

  • Nurture

    Care is tailored to each child’s emotional, behavioral, and developmental needs. Emily partners closely with families to provide thoughtful, evidence-based support that strengthens skills and confidence over time.

  • Grow

    The purpose of treatment is meaningful growth that extends beyond sessions. I can help you build skills and develop tools to navigate emotions, relationships, and learning while parents gain clarity and confidence along the way.
