Introduction

Dr. Zack Bein is a psychologist in the Dan Brown/David Elliott lineage of clinicians who believe strongly in the “3 pillar” approach to healing relational difficulty in adults. After many years of talk therapy (I’d rather not admit how long and how much money was spent), I found myself still quite anxious most of the time, uncomfortable in social situations, unsure of myself and confused about the authentic “me.” Soon after I engulfed myself in a meditation practice and was exposed to Ideal Parent Figure (IPF) work. All of my seeking through doctoral studies, therapy, meditation, seclusion, it all began to integrate in some beautiful way. Rather than looking outside of myself of for someone or something to fix me, I was encouraged to look inward. All the things I’d learned ceased to be objects that I could only grasp at haphazardly. They became like extra limbs…. So intricately and complexly woven together, each part relying on the other. Not codependence, but interdependence. Regardless whether you decide to pursue work in adult attachment or not, my wish for you is that you find what you are looking for, at last. I also have clinical experience with substance abuse/dependence, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, impulse-control disorders, psychotic disorders, and several personality disorders. My research is in mindfulness treatments for addiction and posttraumatic symptoms. My previous research at the University of California, Berkeley was on schizophrenia, examining the relationship between memory, emotions, and negative symptoms. My approach to therapy is integrative, considering elements from a variety of theories and modalities, as well as evidence-based practices. Some of these include Attachment Theory, mindfulness-based interventions, Humanistic/Existential Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Seeking Safety, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and the Ideal Parent Figure (IPF) Protocol. I’m trained in administering the Adult Attachment Interview, the gold standard assessment of attachment styles in adults. I'm also heavily embedded in the Three Pillar therapy with David Elliott.
