About Dr. Emily Britsch
I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in autism. I have a passion for working with toddlers and young children, and I provide comprehensive psychological evaluations at Snohomish Psychology Associates in Everett, WA. I'm also passionate about working with community professionals to expand access to autism care. I provide consultation and training for providers and organizations. As a certified trainer in the Screening Tool for Autism in Toddlers (STAT), I regularly lead STAT workshops for community providers.
Education and Training
For over a decade, I have dedicated my clinical training and practice to working with children with neurodevelopmental differences. I earned my PhD in Clinical & Developmental Psychology at the University of Pittsburgh, where I received specialized training in autism diagnostic and pediatric neuropsychology outpatient settings, along with training in cognitive and behavioral approaches for children with anxiety, depression, and OCD. I then completed my APA-accredited internship at HealthPoint, where I worked with culturally and linguistically diverse families in the Seattle area.
I completed my postdoctoral training at the University of Washington with Dr. Wendy Stone, a clinical psychologist and leader in the autism field who developed the Screening Tool for Autism in Toddlers (STAT). At UW, I served as the assessment lead on a multi-site clinical trial evaluating a Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Intervention (NDBI) and provided autism diagnostic evaluations for toddlers and young children with social communication delays. I also regularly led trainings in autism screening and identification for community-based providers working in early intervention and primary care settings. My background and training informs my current work providing comprehensive evaluations and working with community providers to expand access to autism care in Washington state.
