Reports circulating online about the alleged death of Dr. Laurie Gillespie in the Greenville, South Carolina, area have raised concern among people familiar with her professional work and connection to the Simpsonville community. However, the circumstances surrounding the reports remain unclear, and available information does not reliably confirm that Dr. Laurie Dickson-Gillespie, the psychologist associated with Simpsonville, has passed away.
Professional records identify Dr. Dickson-Gillespie as a child and adolescent psychologist who earned a Ph.D. in Child/School Psychology from McGill University. Her career has focused on supporting children, adolescents, and families through psychological assessment, developmental evaluations, autism-related concerns, learning disabilities, and other behavioral and educational challenges.
With more than two decades of experience, her work has included psychological, developmental, neuropsychological, and psycho-educational evaluations. These services have helped families better understand individual needs and identify appropriate educational, therapeutic, and developmental resources.
Dr. Dickson-Gillespie has also been associated with Restorative Psychological LLC & Early Insights in Simpsonville, where public records identify Laurie Dickson-Gillespie, Ph.D., as an owner and president. Her professional areas have included autism and ADHD testing, developmental and genetic disorders, educational difficulties, trauma-related concerns, forensic assessments, custody evaluations, parental fitness assessments, and expert testimony.
An online report has described the death of a Dr. Laurie Gillespie in the Greenville area as an apparent suicide. However, the information currently available does not clearly establish that the person referenced in that report is Dr. Laurie Dickson-Gillespie. Differences in the professional descriptions further add uncertainty to the claim.
For that reason, the reported death and alleged cause should not be presented as confirmed facts without authoritative verification. No funeral arrangements or official cause of death should be stated unless confirmed by the family, a funeral home, an official organization, or another reliable source.
Until such confirmation becomes available, it is important to avoid speculation and respect the privacy of everyone potentially affected. Dr. Dickson-Gillespie’s documented professional legacy remains centered on psychological care and support for children, adolescents, and families in the Simpsonville and Greenville communities.
