Clinical Assistant Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioDr. Wilson Captein is a fellowship-trained psychologist with Stanford Health Care. He is also a clinical associate professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Captein specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and exposure and response prevention (ERP). He adapts these therapies for patients with autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and related disorders.
