A pioneer of Mindful Psychology
Dr. Neil Kobrin, a licensed clinical psychologist, LCSW and MFT with decades of experience in human transformation and emotional well-being, is delighted to join Mind Therapy Clinic.

It is a holistic approach to mental well-being that combines elements of each discipline and blends them into a theory of human functioning that is based on current research and science.
After attending the University of California, Berkeley, Dr. Kobrin went on to complete his Ph.D. in clinical psychology.

He has also been a Clinical Trainer and Presenter conducting workshops throughout the United States preparing psychology graduates for licensing examinations
Dr. Kobrin plays an active role in the Academy of Mindful Psychology, an organization founded by him and designed to provide education and training in Mindful Psychology, a theory developed by him. Mindful Psychology is an interdisciplinary theory that integrates aspects of mindfulness with Western and Eastern psychology; neuroscience, specifically affective neuroscience; health and wellness; and consciousness and spirituality. It is a holistic approach that combines essential elements of these disciplines and blends them into a theory of human functioning that is based on current research and science alike.

Neil S. Kobrin, PhD
Why he joined Mind Therapy Clinic.
My PhD in Clinical Psychology emphasized family systems and providing family therapy. I was a founding member of the Family Therapy Institute and for more than a decade, I focused on working with families that had significant challenges, particularly in the areas of addiction, abuse, and dual diagnosis. By joining the staff of the Mind Therapy Clinic I feel as though I am returning to my roots as a clinician.

What others say about Dr. Kobrin.
“In ‘Emotion Well-Being,’ Dr. Neil Kobrin provides a very lucid and accessible integration of psychology and mindfulness for the general and professional reader. In his contribution to this conversation, the author includes personal anecdotes and illustrative case examples to show the relevance and intersection of these two perspectives. He makes clear the distinction between ‘our true nature’ and the overlay of experience and culture which hides it and offers mindfulness as the process of recovery of our original condition. This book should get a wide reading from an interested audience.”
“Dr. Neil Kobrin has taken a deep, piercing look at what it takes to dissolve our roadblocks to happiness. There is insight on every page.
