Kathy Van Stone, Psychologist
Dr. Kathy Van Stone is a compassionate and interactive licensed psychologist with over 15 years of clinical experience providing psychotherapy to adults, couples, and groups. She has worked with a diverse population, offering assessment, consultation, and treatment in long-term nursing care facilities, and as the staff psychologist at a Beverly Hills internal medicine practice for six years.
Dr. Van Stone specializes in helping individuals cope with depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, relationship issues, chronic illnesses (including HIV/AIDS), and LGBTQ concerns. Her childhood abroad and clinical work in Southeast Asia give her a unique perspective when working with clients.
She earned her undergraduate degree in psychology from Trinity University in San Antonio and both her master’s and doctoral degrees at the California School of Professional Psychology in Los Angeles.
Dr. Van Stone believes therapy is a powerful opportunity to challenge old patterns, confront fears, and create change. She sees psychotherapy as a time-honored method for healing the heart, mind, and soul. In a safe, supportive relationship with a therapist, individuals can shift the way they think and feel about themselves and others.
Therapy provides a space for solving problems and healing emotional pain. Dr. Van Stone works with clients to address their concerns and help them develop skills to understand their needs, leading to greater clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of self in relationships, careers, and the future.
