My Story

Steinberg, Benjamin PsyD (12).JPG

At Lacey Family Psychological Services, my goal is to help my patients reach their highest potential and to ensure that they receive the best possible mental health care. I have been practicing psychology since 2010 and obtained my doctorate in 2013 from Florida Institute of Technology. I obtained my license in 2016 and obtained board certification in clinical psychology in 2020. Only 4-5% of licensed psychologists are board certified, so I am proud to have achieved this distinction. I started my private practice in 2016, and I'm committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based treatments to help my patients reach their goals.

My Philosophy

In my experience, the best way to address a problem is head-on. If we avoid the things, people, and places that are stressing us out we only prolong our feelings of anxiety and depression. I believe this policy sticks whether we are dealing with avoiding cleaning a messy house, walking on eggshells with a significant other, or feeling at a loss when your child just doesn't listen. My solution-focused approach to problem solving is ideal for assisting you in many of life's challenging moments.

​

Our relationships as children and adults often define how we identify ourselves. I believe that if we can get your relationships on the right track: with significant others, family, and other important people in your life, we will see significant improvement in self-esteem and decrease in problematic symptoms.

​

I consider my approach to therapy as being solution-focused, but my training as a psychologist has come with a well-rounded understanding of different therapeutic modalities. I hope to demonstrate the type of flexibility in my practice to help you to meet your life's goals and ambitions.
