Show Title: Clinical Psychologist-Emery Psychological Center |
| Dr. Laurie Emery |
Dr Laurie Emery, president and founder, created Families by Design with the comprehensive needs of families in mind. After working with families in a multitude of settings, including mental health centers, public schools and private practice, Dr Emery realized the need for a central center that specializes in all areas of family needs. By having a team of professionals and their services in one location, Dr Emery and her staff provide parents and children with avenues and resources to make family life easier and fun.
Dr. Laurie Emery began her esteemed career in the educational system of Palm Beach County, Florida. With her Masters in Special Education, Dr. Emery was introduced to the realm of modern youth while in the special education program where she was responsible for children with emotional and behavioral problems. For over eight years, Dr. Emery supported the regular teachers with behavioral modification programs. She soon became known for her work as a behavioral specialist. As a specialist, Dr Emery began working with students with speech and language disorders, pervasive developmental delays, and learning disabilities. Dr. Emery then went on to work toward her doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology while working in mental health clinics, adolescent treatment centers and later private practice.
In addition to her work at the Center for Group Counseling in Boca Raton, Florida, where she specialized in Play and Family Therapy, Dr. Emery later became a Clinical Director of a large group practice in South Florida.
In 2002, Dr. Emery opened the Emery Psychological Center. As sole practitioner, she continued her psychological services with adults and married couples, concentrating on parenting training, including advocating for parents with children with special needs and adolescent treatment.
Dr. Emery continues to expand her skills and resources in the area of families and children. In order to supplement her skills Dr Emery believes working in team will support families who come to our center to have the diverse resources needed.

Show Title: Plastic Surgeon |
| Jane K. Rasmussen, M.D., F.A.C.S. |
The word "plastic" in the term "plastic surgery" is derived
from a Greek word meaning "to mold" or to "to give form." This
includes cosmetic plastic surgery which serves to alter facial and
body features to achieve aesthetic improvement for ones psychological
well being. It also includes reconstructive plastic surgery which
corrects birth defects or developmental deformities, or deformities
acquired as a result of accidents, infection or disease. Jana K.
Rasmussen, M.D., F.A.C.S. takes pride in being a Board Certified
Plastic Surgeon, helping her patients to make their outward appearance
reflect their inner attitude toward life!
Her trademark, For a Womans Touch in Plastic Surgery , is based
on her philosophy, An educated patient is a happy patient , and is
reflected in her commitment to provide exceptional individualized
care to improve the health and well being of her patients. She
accomplishes this by providing personalized, affordable excellence in
Plastic Surgery.
Dr. Rasmussen graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of
Kansas before graduating with her Medical Degree, also from Kansas
University. She was the first woman to complete the 5-year General
Surgery residency at a Yale Affiliate hospital in Waterbury,
Connecticut before completing her Plastic Surgery training
at Yale in New Haven. She was awarded certification from the American
Board of Surgery, and is currently certified by the American Board of
Plastic Surgery.
Dr. Rasmussen has earned the honor of Membership in the American
Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society For Aesthetic

As a Plastic Surgeon with 20 years of experience in private
practice, Dr. Rasmussen is uniquely qualified to care for your plastic
surgery needs.
Dr. Rasmussen is also a member of many national, state, and local
professional organization. Her service to the community has gone far
beyond her practice of medicine: two major volunteer commitments are
the Palm Beach County Medical Society, having served as its first
woman President, and the Palm Beach County Chapter of the American
Cancer Society, having recently completed her term as President. She
has spent countless hours on Boards & Committees, furthering not only
the causes of these not for profit organizations, but also many
others, particularly those committed to womens issues or mentoring of
our youth.
Although she has won numerous professional awards & recognitions, Dr.
Rasmussen considers the two most important accomplishments to be
outside of the practice of medicine: #2- Running in two Marathons, the
2002 Disney Marathon, and the 2004 Marine Corp Marathon; #1 - Her 28
years of marriage to her extraordinarily patient husband, Wes.
