Amy Garcia, PhD, is a licensed psychologist (LP) and nationally certified school psychologist (NCSP) specializing in assessing autism spectrum disorder. She uses a neurodiversity-affirming and person-centered approach when assessing individuals of all ages for features of autism. She believes in working collaboratively with clients and their families throughout the evaluation process.
Garcia is also an assistant professor in the Louis A. Faillace, MD, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston, where she supervises practicum students, interns, and postdoctoral fellows and hopes to instill the same commitment she has for helping individuals with autism and their families.
She earned her doctorate in school psychology at the University of Houston. During graduate school, Garcia trained in autism assessment in Houston-area school districts, UTHealth Houston Lifespan Autism (C.L.A.S.S.) Clinic, and Texas Children’s Hospital Autism Center. She completed her doctoral psychology internship at Marcus Autism Center in the Clinical Assessment and Diagnostics track and her postdoctoral fellowship in clinical psychology under the supervision of Katherine Loveland, PhD, at McGovern Medical School and the Center for Human Development Research.
