Emily Crawford-Thompson Ph.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Are you a teen or adult who has always felt different and are wondering if you might be neurodivergent/on the spectrum/Autistic? You have come to the right place. I have been certified in evidence-based gold standard assessment tools to evaluate for a clinical diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). I am skilled at identifying ASD in adults including females who are skilled at masking. I do comprehensive psychological evaluations to explore the different reasons for your concerns, and also enjoy working with neurodivergent individuals in counseling sessions.

Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Not all therapists provide evidence-based therapies, and not all therapists who claim to provide CBT are specially trained in this approach. The Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness team consists of doctoral-level clinicians who are highly trained experts in cognitive behavioral therapies.
We are also trained in tailoring your treatment to your individual needs, so you can be sure you are receiving highly individualized care while also benefiting from the techniques that are proven to work.
5 Years Experience
Online in Columbia, MO (Online Only)
Columbia is home to the University of Missouri, the flagship state university, as well as several other colleges, giving it a pronounced college-town character and a mental health landscape significantly shaped by the needs of a large and diverse student population navigating academic pressure, identity, and the transition to adulthood. The MU School of Health Professions and Missouri Psychiatric Center contribute to the city's mental health professional resources, and a well-developed private therapy sector serves both the university community and permanent residents. The city has a generally progressive and intellectually engaged culture with a positive attitude toward therapy, and LGBTQ+ affirmative care is more accessible here than in many other parts of Missouri. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, academic and identity stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and the particular experiences of a university community navigating complex social terrain in a politically divided state.
