Emily Anastasio, PhD
Psychologist
Expert mental health care for young adults struggling with anxiety, ADHD, relationships, effects of trauma, and issues related to neurodiversity.
Hello! I'm a licensed PhD clinical psychologist with 13 years of experience and expertise in neuropsychology, psychological assessment, autism, ADHD, and neurodivergent brains. I also have experience assessing and treating anxiety, depression, gender dysphoria, gender identity issues, and issues related to intellectual giftedness. Struggles related to family dynamics, family of origin wounds, impacts of trauma. Offering personalized, high-quality individual therapy for adults and adolescents aged 16+. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), trauma-informed CBT, and attachment-informed therapy are my go-to approaches when working with clients. Looking to explore issues related to gender identity from a compassionate, biology-forward approach that is both old and new at the same time, and not "affirming"? Contact me for more info.
