About Dr. Laura Frame

I completed my doctoral degree at Texas A&M University and doctoral internship in the Psychological and Social Services Department of Dallas Independent School District in 2017. My specialization strand at A&M was clinical child and adolescent psychology. Prior to returning to school for my doctorate, I earned my master’s degree in school psychology at Texas Woman’s University in 2004. While working as a Licensed Specialist in School Psychology (LSSP) for over a decade in central Texas schools, I developed an interest in supporting students with mental health concerns in the classroom and advocating for disability supports and services.

Throughout my career and training, I have provided interventions for children, adolescents, and young adults.  Given my extensive background in education as well as working in community mental health and hospital settings, I have served children and families from diverse settings; therefore, I am able to assist individuals and families presenting with a wide range of concerns.  My intervention experience encompasses a variety of challenges including learning difficulties, autism spectrum disorders, developmental delays, depression, anxiety, behavioral problems, attention disorders, and other health impairments. I have specialized training in cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy (SFT), behavioral consultation, parent coaching/training, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-focused cognitive-behavior therapy (TF-CBT), mindfulness, crisis intervention, eating disorders, and grief.  During my doctoral training, I received specialized training at a pediatric center for eating disorders where I provided therapy for children and adolescents across all levels of care (inpatient to outpatient). In February of 2023, I completed training to conduct Family-Based Treatment (FBT) with adolescents diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa provided by Drs. James Lock and Daniel Le Grange.

I have extensive experience and training in completing comprehensive psychological evaluations for children, adolescents, and young adults. I have also been an adjunct professor and have taught psychoeducational assessment to school psychology graduate students. Over the past few years, I have served as an expert witness for multiple special education due process hearings and frequently collaborate with special education advocates.

I currently run my own private practice in Central Texas. Please visit my practice‘s website for contact information.
