Dr. James Feinberg

Dr. Feinberg is a child and adolescent clinical psychologist with 30+ years experience. Child clinical psychologists, clinical child psychologists, and/or clinical child and family psychologists as we are often referred to, are highly educated and highly trained psychologists who specialize in evaluating as well as treating children, teenagers, and their families. We are the real deal, and there are very few of us in the St. Louis area.

Testimonials

Home: Testimonials

We just completed an initial phase of 6 sessions to diagnose our child's condition, and we have found Dr. F to be clear, to the point, and precise in his explanations. He answers our questions with professionalism and courtesy. We definitely believe that no other person could have worked so well with our son, getting to the crux of the issue quickly but thoroughly. Without a doubt, we want to continue having our child work with Dr. F. to address the diagnosis.
