Welcome To Dr. Martin H. Klein's Website
Why See A Clinical Psychologist
People go see a psychologist for a variety of reasons. Often they are interested in personal growth or improvements in their relationships and careers. Others want to understand how the past affects who they are and want to make changes to their personality. Sometimes people are in crisis or wanting help with specific life transitional issues or problems. Still others are looking for a more brief, focused cognitive behavioral approach to reduce or change specific behavioral patterns or symptoms.
