Meet Dr. Rachel Fein

I'm Dr. Rachel Fein, PhD, BCBA, a licensed Child Psychologist and Board Certified Behavior Analyst in Houston, TX, specializing in Autism & ADHD evaluations for toddlers through young adults. My practice focuses on early childhood development, Autism & ADHD evaluations, and evidence-based Parent Training/Coaching to support families navigating neurodevelopmental needs.

With over 20 years of experience, I’ve worked in leading clinical and academic settings—including The Meyer Center for Developmental Pediatrics and Autism at Texas Children’s Hospital, UT Health, The Severe Behavior Disorders Clinic at the University of Houston Clear Lake, Legacy Community Health, Katy Independent School District, and the Arbor School. I’ve also contributed to research in the field of Autism, ADHD, and other neurodevelopmental disorders and have taught as an Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine and an Adjunct Professor at the University of Houston.

In my private practice, I bring together expertise in Autism & ADHD with a warm, practical, and family-centered approach. As both a clinician and a mom to two energetic, spirited boys, I understand the real-life challenges families face and the importance of clear guidance and compassionate support.

My goal is to partner closely with families—helping them gain clarity from high-quality evaluations, building confidence through effective parent coaching, and creating a path toward connection, progress, and joy.
