About Dr. Storch
Personal Profile
I am a licensed clinical psychologist (Lic: PSY34526). During my doctoral training, I worked with people across the lifespan in a variety of settings, including:
-
Preschool-aged children with developmental disabilities such as autism and Down syndrome in an elementary school and in their homes
-
Adults (ages 18-70) with severe and persistent mental illness in residential crisis houses
-
Older adults and disabled adults (ages 18-59) in an outpatient managed care clinic
I completed a one-year APA-accredited internship at Talbert House, a community mental health agency in Cincinnati, Ohio providing individual therapy, conducting psychodiagnostic testing, and facilitating a group for people with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders.
I completed my postdoctoral training at a private practice in San Diego providing individual and couples therapy to teenagers, adults, and older adults.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading science fantasy and fantasy books, and watching sports such as soccer and track and field.
