Dr. Zoe Stout completed her doctoral training in Clinical Psychology at Hofstra University in Long Island, New York, and her APA-accredited predoctoral internship in adolescent mental health and eating disorders through the Multicultural Clinical Training Program at the University of California, San Francisco.

She went on to complete her postdoctoral fellowship at the Stanford University School of Medicine in the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, where she specialized in evidence-based treatment for adolescent suicidality, self-harm, and eating disorders.

Dr. Stout is a licensed clinical psychologist (PSY36576) with extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults facing acute mental health challenges, including suicidality, self-harm, and restrictive eating disorders. She also provides culturally responsive care to individuals experiencing a wide range of mental and behavioral health concerns, including anxiety and depression.

She has significant experience supporting youth and their families during the high-risk period following psychiatric hospitalization for suicidality and/or eating disorders. Dr. Stout understands the importance of compassion, warmth, and collaborative care during these difficult transitions and is skilled in addressing the complex emotional, behavioral, medical, relational, and school-related challenges that often arise after hospitalization.

Her therapeutic approach is genuine, nonjudgmental, and client-centered. She draws on evidence-based treatments, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family-Based Treatment (FBT), Enhanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Eating Disorders (CBT-E), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (CBT-AR).

Dr. Stout believes that trust and collaboration are the foundation of an effective therapeutic relationship. She strives to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel comfortable expressing themselves and empowered to make meaningful, lasting changes in their lives.
