Dr. John Beck (Psychologist)

I am a licensed psychologist in both Arizona and California and have over 40 years experience as a Clinical Psychologist with a specialty practice in neuropsychology/medical psychology. I am board certified nationally which less than 10% of licensed psychologists have obtained. My PhD is from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and my internship was in Medical Psychology from the Washington University School of Medicine. Both programs were APA-approved. I have been the Director of Pediatric Psychology for Phoenix Children’s Hospital, Assistant Director of a Family Medicine Residency Program in Scottsdale Arizona, and held multiple appointments at the University of Arizona School of Medicine in the Departments of Pediatric, Family & Community Medicine and Orthopedics (chronic pain issues) before retiring 2 years ago and selling my private practice. I was also Director of a large internal Employee Assistance Program for the hospital system (10,000 employees plus their dependents), for 20 years, and very familiar with life/work balance and corporate stress. My therapy style is eclectic and wide ranging depending upon the age, needs and individual (or families) temperament. I specialize in short-term solution based problem solving coupled with informational/educational supplements as needed. I have always told folks there is a wide range to normal (I am extremely tolerant of different lifestyles and very non-judgmental) but if it is not working for you let’s find a way to change it up. I have also found all it sometimes takes is a 10% change to make a 100% improvement.
