Amanda Smith
Hi! I’m Dr. Amanda Smith. Outside of being a psychologist, I’m a wife and mother to my three wonderful (and full of energy) children. I’m no different from the clients I see. Like everyone else, I’m human. I’ve been through both wonderful and difficult experiences that have shaped who I am and how I help. Being a psychologist is an honor. I recognize I have no right in what people share with me, but see it as a blessing when they allow me to enter into their most vulnerable moments. I am committed to encouraging you to see healing and transformation.
I grew up in Austin, Texas and completed my B.S. in psychology at Baylor University. Thereafter, I earned my Ph.D. in School Psychology from Texas A&M University. I focused my training on both psychological services in schools and clinical services in outpatient and hospital settings. I completed my doctoral internship at Fort Worth ISD, which further developed my skills in providing evaluations and interventions to children to help with academic functioning. I then completed an APA accredited post-doctoral fellowship at Children’s Health, Center for Pediatric Eating Disorders. During my fellowship I assessed and treated children with a variety of eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, ARFID, OSFED, etc.) at a variety of levels of care (inpatient, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient programing and outpatient services). After licensure, I continued working in a multidisciplinary setting, providing assessment and therapy services to a variety of individuals, as well as serving as a director at an eating disorder clinic. My desire to have more creativity and ownership over my work led me into private practice.
I currently serve teens and young women who struggle with body image concerns, disordered eating, eating disorders, anxiety and depression. I also provide children and young adults with comprehensive psychological, ADHD, and psycho-educational evaluations. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to call and receive your free 15 minute consultation.
