Emily Newberry brings nearly three decades of mental health experience to her new Orlando practice. Licensed in both Georgia and Florida, Emily has built a reputation for results-driven, compassionate care — and is honored to now extend that work to the Central Florida community.

 

Background & Experience

 

Emily's career has taken her across several areas of the mental health field, giving her a breadth of experience that informs everything she does in private practice today:

• Started her career at The Methodist Home for Children & Youth, directing therapeutic foster care and adoption programs

• Spent 15 years at Coliseum Psychiatric Center (now Piedmont Behavioral Health), developing and leading Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient Programs for both chemical dependency and psychiatric populations

• Moved into private practice to focus her expertise where she finds it most rewarding — working one-on-one with people who are ready for change 

​

Specialties & Population

​

• OCD, anxiety disorders (including postpartum), and sports performance

• Primarily serves adults ages 18–64

• Also welcomes children and adolescents experiencing OCD symptoms when parents are ready and willing to be active partners in the process

​
