Emily Estrada helps children, adolescents, teens, adults, and older adults across Maryland gain a deeper understanding of their mental health through comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological assessment. As a psychologist at LifeStance Health, she works with patients facing concerns such as ADHD, anxiety, and depression, helping them identify strengths, clarify diagnoses, and develop meaningful paths forward. Emily is committed to providing thoughtful, evidence-based care that supports patients and families through every stage of life, from early childhood through later adulthood. A significant part of Emily’s work involves psychological testing and neuropsychological testing, as well as evaluations that help answer complex questions related to learning, attention, emotional well-being, and cognitive functioning. She serves a diverse range of individuals, including those within the LGBTQ+ community, military veterans, and individuals with autism spectrum disorders. Through a personalized and collaborative approach, she strives to make the assessment process clear, supportive, and empowering. Emily is particularly passionate about working with individuals experiencing ADHD, anxiety, and depression. She understands how these challenges can affect daily functioning, relationships, academic performance, and overall quality of life. Her goal is to provide patients with clarity, practical recommendations, and a deeper understanding of their unique experiences. By integrating evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based techniques when appropriate, she helps patients build resilience and move toward their personal goals. In addition to assessment services, Emily offers support for a variety of mental health concerns and provides additional expertise in areas such as trauma, women’s mental health, sleep difficulties, health psychology, life transitions, and other emotional and behavioral challenges. Her broad clinical experience allows her to tailor care to the individual needs of each patient and family. Outside of her professional work, Emily enjoys reading, exploring new recipes, attending trivia nights, gardening, crafting, and finding the perfect gift for someone she cares about. These personal interests reflect the curiosity, creativity, and connection she brings to her work with patients. Emily earned degrees from Texas Tech University and the University of Florida and has been practicing since 2020. Through LifeStance Health, she is proud to serve patients throughout Maryland with compassionate, evidence-based psychological assessment and mental health care.
