About IPS

A family-owned clinic helping children grow throughout the lifespan.

Irby Psychological Services is a family-owned pediatric therapy clinic serving the Mid-South from Southaven and Clarksdale, Mississippi. We provide comprehensive evaluations and behavioral, developmental, communication, and movement therapies to children, adolescents, and young adults.

Our story

Built by family, for families.

Welcome to Irby Psychological Services, LLC. We are a family-owned and operated small business. The practice was established in June 2020 by Dr. Sarah Irby and her husband, Ben Irby, in order to provide comprehensive evaluations and behavioral therapy to children, adolescents, and young adults with a variety of neurodevelopmental disorders.

In the summer of 2022, Dr. Tera Bradley and her family bought into the practice. Since then, IPS has continued to grow — adding additional providers and expanding the services we offer to families across the Mid-South.
