About Me
Dr. Stephen B. Mayville
Nevada Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Phone:- 775-826-6218
I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing psychological services to adults, children, and couples in Northern Nevada. Through my training and clinical practice (collectively spanning over 25 years), I have successfully treated a very diverse population of individuals. My approach to therapy is cognitive-behavioral. Cognitive-behavioral approaches to treatment involve a wide variety of therapeutic techniques that seek to change behavior and the way an individual experiences his/her environment. Cognitive-behavioral techniques have a strong basis in research, and provide a very practical and efficient means of treating a lot of common psychological and behavioral problems.
