Daphne Blakley

Daphne Blakley, PA-C, is a board-certified Physician Assistant specializing in child and adolescent psychiatry. She completed her graduate training at Emory University’s Physician Assistant Program and further developed her expertise through a pediatric psychiatry fellowship at the University of Missouri. This background has given her a deep understanding of the developmental, emotional, and neurobiological needs of young patients.

Her passion for working with children, teenagers, and young adults grew from witnessing firsthand how timely, evidence-based mental health intervention during formative years can have a profound and lasting impact on overall well-being. She brings particular focus to ADHD, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder, approaching each case with an understanding that these years carry significant weight for long-term outcomes.

Her practice is built on a collaborative partnership model that honors each patient’s voice while actively involving families in the care process. She integrates trauma-informed care with medication management, psychoeducation, lifestyle modifications, and coordination with additional mental health resources — developing individualized treatment plans that address the whole person, not just the diagnosis.
