At Emerald, each therapist has specific credentials to diagnose and provide therapy services for ASD. “Living with ASD and other behavioral health issues affect entire families, not just children. We know the importance of including collateral support services for parents, siblings, and other family members who experience this daily. Nobody has to endure the feeling of isolation or thinking nobody knows what they’re going through. We are here to help,” said Shelly Baer, LCSW, SAP-DOT, and Executive Director at Emerald. Emerald Therapy Center has over 35 employees and 28 licensed therapists. Therapists work alongside in-house nurse practitioners to find the right combination of mental and medical treatment plans that are best for your child. Each facility has therapists experienced in treating between their three locations. To begin your child’s journey to wellness, call today to schedule your consultation.
