Stefanie Moynihan, Ph.D.

Licensed Clinical Psychologist

Originally from New England, Dr. Moynihan earned her Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (APA-accredited). She completed her APA-accredited pre-doctoral internship at Columbia University Medical Center/NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital in New York, NY, and finished her post-doctoral fellowship in advanced clinical psychology at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, KS. 

 

Dr. Moynihan has experience working in culturally diverse urban communities across numerous settings including private practices, community mental health centers, university counseling centers, and medical centers. Together with psychodynamic and DBT therapeutic approaches, she uses interpersonal process techniques that focus on the “here-and-now” experiences of therapy, centering on clients’ emotional and mental experiences. This helps clients refocus attention to the present moment and encourages observation of one's internal state of being. Dr. Moynihan is a proponent of animal-assisted therapy, and includes her trained one-year-old goldendoodle, Bentley, to join in-person sessions.
