Hi, I'm Emily Dixon
I have worked as a psychologist for more than a decade - primarily with young people and their families. Having spent time both private practice and in multiple school settings, I have a good understanding of what life looks like for a young person across their day and am motivated to support them to adapt and thrive in every environment. I also understand the importance of feeling connected and having a sense of belonging, and work to build positive relationships between young people their families, peers and broader communities.
My goal is to support young people to understand and leverage their personal strengths and capabilities, and to form secure connections to their family and community.
