About Dr. Amy Cuellar
Dr. Amy Cuellar is a licensed psychologist in Texas with 17 years of clinical and research experience. She earned a PhD in clinical psychology - an advanced doctorate focused on adult clinical practice - from the University of Miami, completed a pre-doctoral internship on the general track at the James A. Haley VA Hospital, and finished a post-doctoral fellowship at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center within the Mental Illness Research, Education, and Clinical Center. Her license is TX Psychologist 33368, indicating her credentialed practice in Texas.
Her clinical work centers on helping people recover from mood and anxiety conditions, including depression, bipolar disorder, panic and paranoia, as well as addressing stress, sleep problems, anger, and other challenges in daily living. Much of her focus is on supporting clients to set, pursue, and sustain meaningful goals so they can build lives that reflect their values and priorities. She brings particular experience working with issues such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, career concerns, relationship and communication problems, immigration and multicultural concerns, isolation and loneliness, and transitions across the lifespan.
Dr. Cuellar draws primarily from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution-focused therapy. She values CBT for its strong empirical support in reducing symptoms, and she often uses solution-focused approaches when clients are navigating life adjustments. Her style is collaborative and strengths-based - she sees clients as partners whose self-knowledge is essential to progress. A consistent goal in her work is to teach practical skills so clients can apply what they learn in therapy independently over time.
In addition to clinical practice, Dr. Cuellar has contributed to research on bipolar disorder and depressive processes, with publications examining risk factors, the role of life events and relationships, and affective responses to interpersonal feedback. She frames her role as a teammate in each client’s recovery and growth journey and welcomes the opportunity to work alongside people pursuing change.
