Dr. Alexandra Klein completed her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at Case Western Reserve University and her predoctoral internship at VA San Diego/University of California, San Diego within the PTSD Clinical Team and Mood Disorders Clinic. Her program of research is motivated by her clinical observation that despite effective treatments for PTSD and its common comorbidities, many patients either do not receive these treatments or fully recover after an episode of care. Dr. Klein’s research is “in the clinic” and is primarily focused on improving engagement in and clinical outcomes following empirically supported treatments for PTSD. She is particularly interested in developing a systematic, easily implemented approach to personalizing psychotherapy that focuses on each patient’s unique functional goals in addition to symptom reduction. Dr. Klein is passionate about disseminating and supporting clinicians in implementing evidence-based practice. She is a trained prolonged exposure therapy (PE) consultant and currently provides consultation on two multisite, DoD-funded clinical trials. Clinically, Dr. Klein specializes in treating PTSD and co-occurring psychological problems in outpatient settings. She is trained as a clinician in PE, cognitive processing therapy, written exposure therapy, and trauma-informed guilt-reduction therapy.
