Caleb Siefert

Caleb Siefert, PhD, is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with two decades of experience in providing short-term insight-oriented therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and schema therapy. He completed his Ph.D. at Adelphi University, followed by an internship and post-doctorate training at Harvard Medical School/Mass General Hospital. Currently, he serves as an associate professor of psychology at the University of Michigan-Dearborn.

With a specialized focus on mood and anxiety disorders, personality disorders, and ADHD, Dr. Siefert excels in emotion regulation and interpersonal functioning. He employs a tailored, time-limited treatment approach that includes an initial assessment phase to identify underlying challenges, followed by a treatment phase aimed at building essential skills to manage these challenges effectively.

In his practice, Dr. Siefert utilizes personality assessments to uncover strengths that clients can leverage to achieve their goals and enhance their relationships while continuously monitoring treatment progress. His person-centered approach emphasizes collaboration, with the first session dedicated to a clinical interview and self-report measures to assess symptoms, relational styles, and personality traits. A clinical focus is then collaboratively developed within the first four sessions, leading to therapeutic work centered around agreed-upon goals, typically lasting between four and seven months.
