Get to know Psychologist Dr. Alaleh Selkirk, who serves patients in Beverly Hills, California.

Dr. Selkirk is a psychologist whose goal is to help patients compassionately explore the depths of their emotions and find empowerment through meaningful self-discovery. “I have always possessed a deep love of learning. Inquisitive since childhood, I remain a lifelong student, continuously drawn to investigate the ultimate unknown: the human mind. Through my life, I have realized that no matter how much we learn about the human brain, there is always more to discover, and there is always something new to be found in each individual’s story” as stated by Dr. Selkirk.

Dr. Selkirk is currently serving patients at her own private practice – Introspection Beverly Hills – in Beverly Hills, California. Introspection Beverly Hills is a professional psychological corporation that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of adult mood disorders, trauma and stressor-related disorders, as well as personality disorders. “Whether you feel weighed down by sadness, consumed by worry, haunted by the past, or unseen in your relationships, I am here to offer you attention, validation, and understanding. You deserve to feel in charge of your own life. I believe you are more resilient than you sometimes feel” as stated by Dr. Selkirk.

Dr. Selkirk did not plan to pursue trauma therapy until she began working as a Navy psychologist and saw trauma and PTSD at work. Before then, she had earned a PhD in psychology from the Harold Abel School of Psychology in 2008.

Dr. Selkirk served as an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Psychology at Florida State University from 2009 until 2010.
