About Dr. Emily
At the heart of my work is connection.
I’m Dr. Emily Aron, a child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist dedicated to helping children and families build strong foundations for mental health.
Most of my patients simply call me Dr. Emily.
My Journey
After graduating from Georgetown School of Medicine, I completed my psychiatry training at Mt. Sinai and a fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry at NYU.
Since then, I’ve devoted my career to supporting patients across the lifespan—work that continues to be deeply rewarding.
My Work Today
I serve as an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, where I balance clinical work, teaching, and mentoring with developing innovative ways to meet the growing mental health needs of our community.
I am also Medical Director of an Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Clinic, partnering with parents to promote emotional well-being right from the start.
My Approach
In my clinical practice, I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing: anxiety, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, mood disorders, autism spectrum disorders, and disruptive behaviors.
My approach is holistic and flexible—drawing on evidence-based therapy, parent guidance, and lifestyle strategies, and incorporating medication when it’s the right fit.
What Guides Me
I believe every child deserves the chance to thrive.
With the right support, families can navigate challenges, build understanding, and grow stronger together.
