Emily W. King, PhD

fter 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.
