Find Adult Autism Care Near You

Hi, my name is Dr. Holly McFarland, and I am a licensed clinical psychologist living in Texas. I got into this field by way of anthropology–I wanted to understand ways of living and participating in the world that seemed different from my own. I remember often wondering as a kid: “what is it like to be someone else?” That question pointed me towards a surprising direction–myself. I started to notice that if I wanted to better understand and connect with the world around me, the best starting point was to understand and connect with myself.

Being alive means going through our own unique Earth School curriculum. While no curriculum is exactly alike, we share common ground that consists of highs and lows, joys and sorrows, comfort and pain. I keep discovering the better I understand myself, the easier it is to connect with others. Which is why I enjoy diagnostic work. Assessment works well when it is not primarily focused on the outcome or diagnosis. It is far more generative and effective when approached as a process of self-understanding: What makes me unique? What are some of my patterns? What affordances and limitations does my own personal design and my environment offer me? How do you shape the world around you and how does the world shape you in turn? Assessment is a process of reflection and invites one to investigate and examine how they participate with one’s inner and outer world.

Hello and welcome! I’m Karin Curtiss, a licensed psychologist in Texas with nearly 30 years of experience in psychological assessment, diagnostic evaluation, and psychotherapy. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with people from a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences, and one of the things I have always valued most about assessment is helping people make sense of experiences that may have been difficult to understand or put into words.

I believe assessment is about much more than arriving at a diagnosis. At its best, it can help connect the pieces of your history, experiences, strengths, and challenges in a way that brings greater clarity and self-understanding. I also know that being evaluated can sometimes feel unfamiliar or intimidating, so I approach the process with kindness, patience, and flexibility. My goal is to make our time together feel conversational and comfortable, with as little unnecessary stress as possible, so that you can feel free to be yourself. I want you to feel heard, respected, and understood throughout the process.

My approach to care is collaborative because you- the client- are THE most important part of the process. I believe that we all have unique gifts and strengths, but sometimes we struggle in the avenues of life because we haven’t quite figured out what those strengths are or how to best use them. Working together, our goal is really to discover more about you, so that you can feel more comfortable in your own skin and be empowered to work towards positive outcomes, no matter where life takes you. I would be honored to come alongside you for this journey.
