Dr. Wallace is a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders, including Autism, ADHD, Learning Disabilities, and Intellectual Disability.

Dr. Wallace earned her doctorate in Clinical Psychology (PsyD) from Marshall University in 2016. She completed a pre-doctoral internship at MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio, and a post-doctoral fellowship at Valley Health Systems, Inc. in Huntington, West Virginia. During that time, she was trained by leaders in the field of pediatric psychology.

Dr. Wallace spent the first 7 years of her career in medical settings alongside pediatricians, neurologists, rehabilitation therapists, and mental health professionals.

Prior to opening UP!, Dr. Wallace worked as a pediatric psychologist and associate clinical professor at the West Virginia University School of Medicine, where she practiced at the WVU Medicine Children’s Neurodevelopmental Center. During her time in academic medicine, she provided neurodevelopmental assessments, parent coaching and consultation, and supervision of graduate students and medical providers in a variety of medical settings, including pediatric cancer, diabetes, and neurology.

Dr. Wallace is a mother, a novice tennis player, and a former collegiate athlete. She loves to travel and spend time with her family and friends. She is passionate about helping parents feel confident in their ability to support their children and fiercely advocates on behalf of children with neurodevelopmental disorders and their families.

Dr. Wallace has special expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of neurodevelopmental disabilities from birth through adolescence. She believes that nothing can be accomplished until a relationship is built with a child and their family, because trust is an important part of the evaluation and treatment of behavioral health concerns.

Dr. Wallace provides assessment services and therapy in the group and individual formats. She also provides consultation to schools, therapy providers, and medical practices.

Dr. Wallace was instrumental in the development and operation of the WVU Medicine Children’s Neurodevelopmental Center from 2017-2023. During that time, she oversaw the expansion of psychology services, managed many daily operations of the clinic, and organized outreach events for the community.

She was chosen as a member of the inaugural Leadership Development Fellowship through the American Psychological Association in 2020. She also served as the Advocacy Committee Co-Chair for the Society of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics and the Chair of the Committee on Early Career Psychologists for the WV Psychological Association.

Dr. Wallace is a sought-after speaker for invited talks, lectures, workshops, and trainings to a broad variety of audiences, including teachers, early childhood interventionists, and medical workers. She has also presented numerous research presentations and posters at state and national conferences and has published three peer-reviewed journal articles and a book chapter.

Most importantly, she has had thousands of conversations with parents and providers about their experiences interacting with one another over the course of her career. Combined with her knowledge and understanding of evidenced-based practices and her experience as a parent, these conversations have helped improve the way she cares for her patients.
