About Me
Clients who are seeking to be more confident, powerful, and effective are likely to work well with me. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families from a positive psychology perspective--helping them to use their strengths to improve their moods and their lives. I can help people improve their current relationships and their career success. I have extensive experience working with executives, physicians, and other professionals. Developed over more than 20 years of experience, my interpersonal style is non-judgmental, encouraging, and solution-oriented. Before I started my private practice in Rittenhouse Square, I was the director of the Charles O'Brien Center for Addiction Treatment at the University of Pennsylvania. I am happy to provide therapy or coaching virtually or in person, including Sunday hours. www.tracysteen.com
Education & Experience
My Ph.D. in clinical psychology is from the University of Michigan. I completed a postdoctoral fellowship in positive psychology at the University of Pennsylvania with Dr. Martin Seligman. I am certified in EMDR for treating trauma and relationship injuries. I have also received training in how to use IFS-informed EMDR to help people to better understand their personalities. I am also trained in DeTUR, a method for helping people to overcome urges to engage in unwanted behaviors. In addition, I am certified in the CRAFT approach to helping families handle addiction.
