Dr. Amy Eiermann, Ph.D., is our founder and specialist in neuropsychological and psychological assessment.
In her testing work, Dr. Eiermann is experienced at using a range of well-researched and validated psychometric instruments to provide diagnostic clarification and treatment recommendations for individuals across the lifespan, with particular specialization in the assessment and diagnostic identification of ADHD and Autism in adults. She is passionate about helping individuals better understand themselves, and how they interact with others, and their environment from a strengths-based behavioral perspective to determine the most appropriate course of treatment and improve quality of life.
Dr. Eiermann completed her undergraduate degree in psychology at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, with specializations in psychopathology, leadership, and pedagogy. She earned her doctorate degree from The Ohio State University, and she also holds certification as a Nationally Certified School Psychologist (NCSP). Dr. Eiermann has experience in a variety of settings including public, charter, and private schools, home-based therapeutic services, private outpatient therapy clinics, and private neuropsychological practice.
Dr. Eiermann completed her APA-accredited internship in Clinical Psychology with Life Skills Psychological Services in Cadillac, MI, where she specialized in psychological and neuropsychological assessment across the lifespan, including ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Learning Disabilities, Intellectual Disabilities, Emotional/Behavioral Disorders, substance abuse, PTSD, and Dementia/memory issues. Dr. Eiermann obtained her post-doctoral training in Neuropsychology at Boston Neuropsychological Services in Needham, MA, where she practiced extensively with individuals aged 4 through adulthood with neurodevelopmental and neurocognitive concerns with co-morbid psychological symptoms and psychiatric conditions, including ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, mood and personality disorders, trauma, and Schizophrenia spectrum disorders. She founded Third Coast Psychological Services after serving as the Assessment and Testing Director for Midwest Counseling and Diagnostics in downtown Chicago.

Mackenzie specializes in CBT, goal-oriented work, and mindfulness practices through both telehealth and in-office sessions.
Mackenzie comes to Third Coast after working as a licensed School Psychologist and Nationally Certified School Psychologist in school settings for three years. In Summer 2024, she transitioned to private practice with the desire to work with a broader array of individuals at an individual treatment level.
