Dr. Armstrong’s training in clinical psychology, her theoretical orientation of behavior analysis, and her over 35 years of experience give her a strong foundation for working with clients who struggle with a wide variety of psychological problems: depression, anxiety, relationship conflicts, eating disorders, and emotional traumas. Beginning with her first class in behavior modification in 1975, Dr. Armstrong found a theoretical home in behavior analysis. She participated in numerous advanced seminars in behavior analysis throughout her undergraduate and then graduate years, immersing herself in the philosophy of the science of behavior. Dr. Armstrong believes that her strong theoretical foundation in behavior analysis brings an important consistency to her clinical work. Dr. Armstrong began her professional career at Timberlawn Psychiatric Hospital in Dallas, TX, in 1983, and received her license to practice as a Psychologist in Texas in 1985. Her initial interest in eating disorders, begun during her internship at McLean Hospital, quickly developed into a specialty once she began working at Timberlawn. Throughout her decades of private practice, the majority of the clients in her practice have experienced significant problems with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or binge eating disorder. She works with individuals from their late teens on through their adult years. While much of Dr. Armstrong's career has focused on individuals with eating disorders, her practice has evolved over the years to include a broader range of emotional issues. Everyone in the family is affected in some way by the person who struggles with a psychological disorder. Dr. Armstrong’s extensive understanding of psychological problems has also allowed her to become a primary caregiver at times for those family members who want to offer support and understanding to their loved ones as well as deal with their own reactions, disappointments and grief.
