Emily W. King, PhD I received a Ph.D. in School Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 2006.

Author of THE NEURODIVERGENT LEARNER • Licensed Psychologist in NC • PD for teachers • Workshops for parents • Subscribe to my newsletter: https://learnwithdremily.substack.com Wanting to learn more about providing mental health services in public schools, I completed an APA-accredited pre-doctoral psychology internship at Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District in Houston, Texas. After completing my internship, I remained in Houston to complete my post-doctoral training in Cypress-Fairbanks ISD where I provided evaluation, therapy, and consultation services in elementary, middle, and high schools. As a Raleigh native, my family returned home in 2010 and I worked for a group practice before opening my solo practice in 2012. I am a Licensed Psychologist and Health Services Provider in North Carolina specializing therapy for neurodivergent children and teens including those diagnosed with Autism, ADHD, anxiety, giftedness, and/or learning disabilities.
​
I have spent the last 20 years working with children, parents, and teachers to help build an understanding of how a child's developmental level, caregiver and peer relationships, and perception of safety intersect to create the ideal environment for a child's optimal growth.
​
I provide cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and am well-versed in the Social Thinking curriculum. In 2017, I received a Professional Certification in the DIR/Floortime model through The Profectum Foundation, which has greatly enhanced my work with young children diagnosed with Autism.
​
I am passionate about helping parents connect with their children in order to cultivate loving and supportive interactions that are felt by both parents and child. My background in School Psychology has given me extensive experience conducting psycho-educational evaluations and consulting with teachers and school administrators, which is helpful when supporting families as they navigate school services for their children.

Sometimes the hardest part of watching your kid struggle at school is not knowing why.

You see the missing work, the frustration, the shutdowns, or the grades that don’t seem to match what your kid knows.

And then come the mixed messages. They’re capable, but not doing the work. They need support, but maybe we should wait. They’re struggling, but not quite enough to qualify for help.
It’s a lot to untangle.

The FREE School Support That Sticks Summit, October 26–29, brings together 29+ experts to help you sort through the mixed messages, ask better questions, and get clearer about what your kid really needs.

If you’ve read chapter 7 of THE NEURODIVERGENT LEARNER, you know how animals can impact our emotional regulation.

I have had one of those weeks that’s been EXTRA. So when my colleague and barn animal/kid whisperer, Chris Burkhart, stopped by for an impromptu book signing with her donkeys, it was an easy YES.

Now, y’all go checkout Building Connections, LLC and the fun, nurturing, and relational experiences she and her team are giving neurodivergent kids!

Some weeks are harder than others. This one earned its laughs. 😅
