About Mickey Stein Ph.D.

I earned my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Palo Alto. My dissertation was an exploration of psychotherapy treatment outcomes in a training clinic. I also interned at the Alaska Psychiatric Institute. These highly ranked training programs, accredited by the American Psychological Association, allow me to be of effective use to my clientele. Moreover, I also completed a postdoctoral fellowship through Back in Motion in Vancouver, B.C.

​

In 2025/2026, I sold my almost decade long Canadian practice MyPsychology BC, which consisted of a successful team of psychologists, counsellors, and psychometrists, offering a wide variety of psychological services. The same practice now operates as MyPsych BC, run by a psychiatrist and their team. In 2026, I launched my U.S. based practice, in Minneapolis, MN, Ready Psych Go.

​

In addition to private practice, I am also involved in higher academia by offering clinical supervision to Master’s, Psy.D., and Ph.D. candidates in clinical psychology programs. Moreover, I have a wide portfolio of university courses in cognitive and behavioural interventions and psychodynamic therapy offered to doctoral students. Regarding my research, I have focused on eating disorders through the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioural Sciences at Stanford University and the Mental Illness Research Center at the Palo Alto VA.

​

My scholarly research is an active part of my work, fundamentally informing the daily work I do with my clientele. I also lecture regularly on CBT and Psychodynamics, an active area of specialization and professional interest. In addition, in these settings I conducted a range of psychological assessments. Having trained in a variety of clinical and research-based environments, I have the necessary expertise and wherewithal to support my clients on their journey to self-actualization.

​

My clinical training consisted of private practice, therapeutic outdoor camps, psychiatric hospitals, community mental health agencies, providing psychiatric stabilization services as a mobile crisis interventionist in San Francisco, as well as child and family treatment settings. Academically, I worked as a graduate teaching assistant throughout my scholarly training.

​

Prior to my graduate training in psychology, I completed an honors degree in psychology from the University of Winnipeg where I focused on animal learning and worked in a rat laboratory, examining the impact of alcohol dependency and scalar timing theory. Before receiving formal training in psychology, I worked with underserved youth, including those with various mental health issues and fetal alcohol syndrome. Since early adolescence, I was exposed to several camp-related experiences, which instilled in me a desire to cooperate, learn from, and acquire a good familiarity with cultural adjustment. My desire to understand human nature has been prevalent since early adolescence and it’s also been the greatest impetus behind my work as a registered psychologist. 

In my free time, I enjoy exploring the outdoors and travel with my wife, children, and dogs. I love following innovations in technology, playing strategic games, and fitness.
