Stephen L Salter Psy.D.

About

Currently, I run a private practice in Beverly Hills specializing in depth and insight oriented therapy and also the treatment of bipolar and other mood disorders. My experience in psychology spans 20 years. I completed my doctoral degree at the Wright Institute in Berkeley and thereafter received a certificate in psychoanalytic psychotherapy at Wright Institute Los Angeles. My passions are twofold. I am foremost a clinician and secondarily a writer. I publish work in clinical practice, theory, and philosophy.
