About Dr. Stein
I am a licensed clinical psychologist (PSY#27573) in California who provides therapeutic services to adults. I have extensive training in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and I also integrate interpersonal and systems approaches in order to best meet the needs of my clients. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is vital to treatment success and am respectful and attentive to cultural factors and the unique history and circumstances of each client.
My ultimate goal in therapy is to help clients lead fulfilled and empowered lives. I view therapy as a partnership in which I work with clients toward this goal.
I graduated summa cum laude with my Bachelor of Arts at Macaulay Honors College at Queens College and went on to pursue my graduate training at St. John’s University, completing a master’s degree and doctorate in clinical psychology (Psy.D.). Though originally from the East coast, I moved to Los Angeles when I matched for my final psychology internship at The Help Group and could not bring myself to leave.
I have worked in a variety of settings, including community mental health agencies, private practices, public and therapeutic schools, psychological clinics, outpatient programs, and research facilities. I have also supervised and trained master’s and doctoral level psychology students. I am well-versed in family therapy, group therapy, and psychological testing/assessment, and I currently work exclusively with young adults and adults, utilizing evidence-based therapies tailored to an individual’s unique needs.
