BIOGRAPHY
Dr. Emily Bond is a postdoctoral fellow in the Child Anxiety Center at EBTCS.
Dr. Bond loves working with children, adolescents, and their caregivers to reach their personal goals and thoroughly enjoys sharing in the successes of her patients. Dr. Bond has advanced training in the treatment of anxiety and mood disorders, disruptive behavior problems, sleep difficulties, learning challenges, and adjustments through major life events or stressors (e.g., trauma, psychosocial and medical complexities, and identity development). She also has expertise in the assessment and treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders including Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASDs).
Dr. Bond received her Ph.D. in School Psychology from the University of Washington after completing her predoctoral internship with the University of Nebraska Medical Center Munroe-Meyer Institute within their Behavioral Pediatrics and Integrated Care program. Throughout her training, Dr. Bond has worked with a wide range of clients, from early childhood through young adulthood, across a variety of settings including K-12 schools, hospital-based outpatient treatment facilities, a juvenile rehabilitation facility, and in the community.
Her therapeutic approach is collaborative and strengths-based, tailored to patient and family needs with integrations of cultural identity and various evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

She also brings expertise in understanding and navigating special education services and can provide targeted consultation to school teams to ensure the comprehensive care of young people.
Dr. Bond has found that participation in research deeply impacts her work and approach to care. Her doctoral research focused on effective instructional modification practices and culturally responsive interventions in schools as well as investigating the ways multiply-marginalized disabled youth experience education and the juvenile incarceration system. Dr. Bond actively works to create a safe therapeutic space as an LGBTQ+ ally and a culturally responsive provider.
Dr. Bond is a member of several professional organizations, including the American Psychological Association (APA) and the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT).
