Find Adult Autism Care Near You

Hey there, and welcome! I’m Dr. Leann Smith, born and raised in Galveston, TX and currently based in Houston. I’m a licensed psychologist in Texas, and I also provide virtual services in PSYPACT states. I have over 10 years of training and specialization in autism assessments.I was trained in school psychology with a strong foundation in child development, which means I approach autism through a lifespan lens. I consider how early patterns of learning, social experience, and adaptation can show up in adulthood. I’ve worked with hundreds of Autistic individuals and understand how stigma and missed recognition can shape identity over time. If you’re pursuing an evaluation as an adult, I know it can feel vulnerable. My goal is to offer a thoughtful, respectful process where you feel taken seriously, clearly understood, and supported throughout.

As a psychologist, I believe in building a trusting partnership and creating a safe, comfortable space for self-exploration. Your involvement in therapy can be a way to explore ways to improve the quality of your life and your relationships. I believe transformation is possible through understanding, healing, support, and connectedness." I specialize in neuropsychological assessment (testing) of children, adolescents, and adults challenged with a myriad of behavioral difficulties, neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., Autism, ADHD, Learning disabilities, etc.). Providing diagnostic clarification and appropriate treatment or service can be life-changing for many individuals riddled with questions about their overall functioning. I integrate a psychodynamic approach with cognitive behavioral therapy and often incorporate psychological assessment (testing) to maximize treatment. Assessment is available for evaluating ADHD, memory, executive functions, intellectual and academic functioning, learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, and personality.

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist who enjoys helping people better understand themselves through thoughtful, supportive assessment. Many people seek an evaluation because they’re looking for clarity—wanting answers that help explain their experiences and point them in a helpful direction. I believe the assessment process should feel collaborative, respectful, and validating, not intimidating.I live in El Paso, Texas, and I’m licensed in both Texas and New Mexico. I also hold a PSYPACT license, which allows me to provide assessment services through telehealth in participating PSYPACT states. This makes it easier to connect with people in a way that fits their lives.With many years of experience, I aim to make assessments feel comfortable and approachable. My goal is for you to feel heard, understood, and supported throughout the process, and to walk away with clear insights and practical information you can actually use.
