Welcome! My name is Dr. Alex Klein, Psy.D. and I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in parenting as well as assessing neurodivergent adults and children. I currently run a private practice in Oakland, California where I offer counseling with individual adults, couples, and parents, as well as evaluating adults and children for autism, ADHD, and other forms of neurodivergence. 

​

My primary interests include neurodiversity-affirming care, parenting challenging children, pathological demand avoidance (PDA), social justice, trauma, education, and advocating for the rights of children. In addition to consulting with various companies to create a more neurodiversity-affirming and inclusive workplace, I also use my experience as a former teacher and school-based therapist to advocate in school districts for more appropriate learning environments for challenging students. 

 

I received my doctorate in clinical psychology from the Wright Institute in Berkeley, CA., and I have obtained extensive training in child, adolescent, and adult psychotherapy and assessment with clients who present with a range of diagnoses. *Please note at this time I can only work with people located in the state of California.

​

My greatest joys are spending time with my family and friends, music, and exploring the outdoors with my wife and twin daughters in the Bay Area.
