Dr. Poulter helps you achieve greater professional success and personal satisfaction.

Dr. Stephan B. Poulter is a licensed clinical psychologist with a private practice in West Los Angeles. He has worked in various settings with more than 2,200 fathers and sons in the last 23 years. Dr. Poulter attended theological seminary and served as a police officer with the city of Glendale, California. While attending graduate school and working full-time as a police officer, his law enforcement specialty was working with at-risk juveniles, primarily young (12- to 18-year-old) male criminal offenders, in programs designed to redirect their anger and salvage their futures. This work sparked his realization that America is facing an epidemic of fatherless boys and that rage, pain, and violence are the results. It motivated Dr. Poulter to give up the ministry and pursue a doctorate in clinical psychology with an emphasis on adolescent male development.
