A team we invest in
Named a Best Places to Work in Virginia in 2023, 2024, and 2025. We invest in our team so families get consistent care.
EMG Consulting’s mission is to provide quality services, based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis, directly to clients, families, and stakeholders. We aim to ensure that each individual or organization we work with feels supported and has the resources they need to live or support individuals living happy and fulfilling lives.
Quality means doing the work properly even when that costs us something. We ground our practice in peer-reviewed evidence, teach self-advocacy over compliance, and report our data honestly, even when the results are disappointing. We recognize the limits of our expertise and seek additional support when a client's needs extend beyond them.
We build care around each client's priorities, strengths, needs, and circumstances. These guide our recommendations, the goals we set together, and the support we provide. Equitable care means each family gets what their situation actually requires, not the same thing as everyone else. As the client's needs and priorities change, the plan changes with them.
We work with clients, families, and the people they choose to involve in their care. We share what we know, learn from the rest of the team, and make space for those who cannot be in the room. Clients and families stay at the center of every decision.
We approach families with the belief that they are doing their best with the resources and support available. We listen to what clients communicate in any way, through behavior as much as through words, including when they tell us no. Our job is to lighten what a family is carrying, not add to it, even when what we have to say is hard.
