About US

EMMIC is both an acronym and a meaningful blend of the names of its founders, Emmerson Philippe and Dr. Michelle Lake. This synchronization reflects the merging of their expertise in education, therapy, and consulting to create a unified, holistic approach to growth and development.

The acronym E.M.M.I.C. represents the core values that guide our work:

Empowering individuals to achieve cognitively, emotionally, and academically

Motivating clients through engaging interventions, technology, curriculum, and rigor

Mentoring minds to think beyond the boundaries of their imagination

Inspiring trust and confidence by helping clients learn from challenges and build on their successes

Creating pathways through which individuals can grow from their experiences

Together, these principles shape the foundation of EMMIC’s mission and the impact we strive to make in every community we serve.
