Dr. O’Donnell Bio

Dr. O’Donnell is a licensed psychologist who received her doctorate in School Psychology with a Subspecialty in Child Neuropsychology from the University of Texas at Austin and completed an internship in Clinical Psychology at the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio.

She currently has a private neuropsychology practice with the ADHD Clinic of San Antonio after retiring in 2021 from the University of Texas Health Science Center (UTHSCSA)/UT Health as an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry division. She remains adjunct faculty with UT Health.

Her patients range in age from 12 months to young adulthood. She works with children and families seeking clarification of diagnostic issues, educational intervention/accommodations and treatment recommendations. The children and families are referred for assessment because of suspected neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorders, learning disabilities (e.g., dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyscalculia), ADHD and language disorders as well as persons with suspected intellectual and memory impairment and those with possible behavioral/emotional disorders (e.g., depression, anxiety, bipolar and schizophrenia).

Dr. O’Donnell is originally from Wisconsin but now considers herself Texan. Her spouse is a retired free-lance writer in the information technology and American history fields. They have two adult twin sons and three wonderful grandchildren. Recent additions to the family include two rescue kittens. For fun, Dr. O’Donnell enjoys experimenting with new recipes her family patiently endures.
