Dr. Stacy Rider, Founder of Central Pines Psychological Associates
I am Dr. Stacy Rider, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Texas and 43 other states. I am also a member of PsyPACT, holding Mobility Number 17816, and am affiliated with the American Psychological Association (APA).
Qualifications, Training, and Experience:
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from The University of Texas at Austin. Following graduation, I taught middle school for two years before returning to graduate school in 2000 at the Georgia School of Professional Psychology, Argosy University in Atlanta, where I completed my clinical doctoral program in 2005. During my training, I engaged in three full years of practicum experience, a full-time pre-doctoral internship, and a post-doctoral fellowship at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas.
After completing my degree and training, I became a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Texas in 2007. Since then, I have gained extensive experience working in both private practice and at the Department of Veterans Affairs. I spent six years at the Veterans Administration in Austin, Texas, conducting compensation and pension evaluations and providing psychotherapy for Veterans and their families.
In addition, I have maintained a private practice since 2007 and have worked as an independent contractor in the private sector, conducting compensation and pension examinations and medical opinions for 16 years. In this capacity, I have completed thousands of evaluations with service members and Veterans, addressing a broad range of mental health conditions and demographics.
I am deeply committed to helping Veterans, both through my professional work and as the spouse of a Combat Veteran and the daughter of a Navy Submarine Officer.
