Dr. Betty Wicks

Biography

Welcome to Emora Health, my name is Betty Wicks. I am a clinical psychologist who has been practicing since 2008. I work with a wide range of individuals, from youth to adulthood. For the last few years, I have been working with neurodivergent individuals and their families. This includes people with Autism, ADHD, learning differences, and giftedness. However, I first began working with children with various mental health conditions and special needs in 2008. I worked at an agency that provided mental health services for youth and their families. Working with children and supporting their parents was something I enjoyed doing. Over the last few years, I have provided comprehensive testing not only to clarify diagnosis but also to help families create a plan moving forward. I enjoy working with the family to create practical steps toward their identified needs. I also work with adults who are seeking diagnosis and guidance. After testing is completed, I am always happy to provide follow up consultation or treatment when it is appropriate. In 2019, I started working with military veterans providing disability evaluations and trauma informed treatment. Working with individuals with a history of trauma is one of my other strong interests. This interest also began in 2008, when I was working with children in foster care and who were victims of child abuse. I have spent years studying all the ways that trauma impacts life functioning from youth to adulthood. It has been a privilege for me to walk with someone as they make the brave decision to heal and rebuild their lives. Because anxiety, depression, and chronic pain are common conditions related to trauma, they too have been a regular focus in my practice for many years. Aside from using evidence based treatment methods, I may incorporate breath work and somatic exercises to integrate the mind with the body if that is something that is of interest to the client. For those individuals who might prefer treatment in spanish, I am fluent in this language and would be able to provide you with mental health services. All the best— Dr. Wicks
