About Me
I am a licensed psychologist based in Sugar Land, Texas and I specialize in evidence-based treatments and psychological testing for children and adolescents. For the past eight years, I've had the privilege of supporting youth and their families through life's challenges. I have extensive experience helping youth with autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, behavioral difficulties, anxiety, and depression.
My approach to therapy is from a developmental and cognitive-behavioral framework. Treatment is grounded in evidence-based therapies including CBT, DBT, ACT, PCIT, and ERP - tailored to meet each child's unique needs. I provide autism evaluations using gold-standard assessments (ADOS-2), as well as comprehensive psychological, and psycho-educational evaluations for children and adolescents. I have delivered treatments across a wide range of settings including hospitals, schools, primary care, and community mental health centers.
​
I am passionate about partnering with families to foster resilience, emotional growth, and lasting change. I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and even a little playful. I am here to help your family move toward a happier, more connected future.
A Message to Children and Teens:
Hello! I am Dr. Ha and I help children and teens who may have trouble with friends, school, and/or emotions. I live with my husband and children in Richmond, TX. I am very excited to meet you and learn more about you and your family so that we can work together to help you grow and feel better. At our first meeting together, we will get to talk, play with toys, and learn more about each other. When I am not working, I like to go for walks, cook, go to the gym, play video games, and spend time with my family!

Background & Training
I earned my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Houston, where I was awarded the National Research Service Award for my contributions to clinical research.​ ​My predoctoral internship was completed at Baylor College of Medicine, with a primary rotation at DePelchin Children’s Center. I continued my training with a postdoctoral fellowship at UTHealth in the Department of Pediatrics, where I developed clinical programming for an intensive outpatient program focused on integrated care for youth with chronic medical conditions.
