About Me
I’m Amy R. Beck PhD, a clinical psychologist, advocate, consultant, and speaker.
“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”–Audre Lorde
My Story
Originally from Kentucky, I lived in California, Pennsylvania, and Maryland to train as a clinical psychologist (PhD). I am currently in Missouri, where I practiced in an academic medical center for 13 years. I founded ARB PHD LLC in 2024 to pursue my passions for public speaking, consulting, and advocating with policy makers on issues affecting my patients. I continue to see patients across the country via telehealth. In my free time, I enjoy practicing yoga, watching YouTube, and shopping.
