Dr. Emiley Morton LISW-S
Hi, I’m Dr. Emiley! I completed my doctorate of social work through the University of Southern California, with a focus on providing affirming care for neurodivergent individuals through empowering neurodivergent practitioners to serve them. My lived experience as a high-masking, late diagnosed individual informs my passion for creating space for folks to be exactly who they are in a world that tries to tell them otherwise.
My work is grounded in empowering neurodivergent individuals to understand and embrace themselves through accurate diagnosis and affirming care. I am especially interested in the intersection of queer identities and neurodivergence, and the intersectionality of the neurodivergent experience in regards to race and culture. I believe that when a practitioner shares important aspects of identity with the individual they serve, it reduces barriers, improves the therapeutic bond, and improves health outcomes. My personal experiences facing invalidation in medical settings as a neurodivergent person informs my commitment to center you and your voice throughout our work together.
I provide comprehensive mental health assessments, with a special focus on testing for autism and ADHD, including confirming self-diagnosis. I love to assess high-masking individuals and support them in finding answers behind the mask. My testing process is thorough, careful, and comprehensive. It includes diagnostic interviews, standardized testing (including cognitive testing for in-person clients), and can include individuals who know you well if you would like their support! We will collaborate together through assessment to find the words that best describe what it is like to be you.
