Amy Kincaid Todey, PhD

Hello and welcome — I’m glad you’re here!

I’m a psychologist, mom to three spirited boys, lifelong athlete, nature enthusiast, aspiring pianist, basketball fan, and lover of all things French. I created this site as a resource hub — a space where clients, parents, and anyone curious about mental health can find grounded, compassionate guidance.

Whether you’re navigating the complexities of parenting, facing major life changes like divorce, navigating your children’s developmental needs, or simply searching for tools to build emotional strength, you’ll find practical support here, informed by both clinical research and everyday experience.

I care deeply about this work and feel honored to support those walking the often challenging, always meaningful path of personal and family growth. In my clinical work, I strive to bring empathy, clarity, and honesty — creating a space where healing and development feel possible.

Thanks for visiting. I hope this space meets you where you are, and helps you move forward with greater confidence and connection.
