Frederick P List, PhD

Frederick List, PhD, graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science degree from Muskingum College with a major in psychology and minors in math, French, and music. He then proceeded on to the University of North Dakota, completing the requirements for a Masters in Psychology and subsequently was awarded a PhD in clinical psychology with the completion of an internship in clinical child psychology at the Arkansas Children’s Hospital and University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. He then moved to North Carolina to complete a two-year postdoctoral fellowship in pediatric psychology/developmental disabilities at the Center for Development and Learning at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.

Following his fellowship, he accepted a position as staff psychologist for the Governor Morehead School, North Carolina’s residential school for students with visual impairments. He later joined a private practice group in Sylva, North Carolina, where he developed a satellite office location in Franklin, North Carolina, to work as the county’s sole doctoral-level child mental health specialist, provided contract services to multiple school systems in the region, supported treatment services for the local child advocacy center while completing training as a forensic interviewer, and developed a support group for parents of adopted children.

In 2008, Dr. List relocated to Greenville to join the Division of Pediatric Psychology at Prisma Health Children’s Hospital where he now provides developmental evaluations for children and adolescents presenting with a range of concerns including learning difficulties, attention weaknesses, autistic characteristics, and developmental trauma. During his tenure at Children’s Hospital, Dr. List was also a member of the inaugural class completing a graduate certificate developed in collaboration between Children’s Hospital and Clemson University, and he has applied that training in his work with the hospital IRB Committee, reviewing a range of research projects being carried out by the staff of the health organization.

Dr. List is married to an art teacher providing instruction for visually impaired students at the SC School for the Deaf and Blind. He also has two sons with whom he had the experience of learning many things that were never fully addressed in his professional training, as he accompanied them on their own developmental journeys that included the full scouting experiences to be had from the rank of Tiger through the attainment of Eagle Scout.
