About
Emily Asher, MD — Triple Board-Certified Bay Area Psychiatrist
Dr. Asher is a triple board-certified psychiatrist providing clinical and forensic neuropsychiatry care to children, adolescents, adults, families, and legal professionals across Marin, the East Bay, San Francisco, Oakland, and Kentfield.
Dr. Emily Asher is a triple board-certified psychiatrist whose practice integrates clinical psychiatry, child and adolescent care, and forensic psychiatry into a single thoughtful private practice. She has dedicated her career to understanding the full complexity of each person — their development, biology, relationships, and the meaning they make of their experience.
Her training spans some of the country's leading academic medical centers, including UCSF, Harvard, and Yale. She completed fellowship training in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry and additional fellowship training in Forensic Psychiatry, giving her a unique perspective at the intersection of mental health, neuropsychiatry, and the law.
Dr. Asher provides psychodynamic psychotherapy, CBT, DBT-informed care, exposure and response prevention (ERP), and evidence-based medication management when clinically appropriate. Her practice is intentionally limited so each patient and family receives careful, individualized attention.
