The long version of who is Dr. Steve
Dr. Steve Kubacki, Ph D., is a clinical psychologist currently in private practice in Seattle, WA. Steve grew up in South Deerfield, MA, in a lower middle-class family, where his father worked in a tire factory and his mother was a secretary at the University of Massachusetts. He graduated from Deerfield Academy in 1972 as a day-student, where he would spend many hours in its college-like library cutting classes and rebelling. He then attended Hope College in 1979, where he received a BA in German Studies—a default major because he just had enough credits after having switched major a dozen times.
In 1983, he earned a MA in Linguistics/TOEFL (Ohio University). However, he found linguistics a bit too academic and yearned for more intense human-to-human interactions, subsequently enrolling in a PhD Clinical Psychology program at the University of New Mexico. During his stay there, he was awarded a Fulbright-Hays Fellowship in the Departments of Philosophy and Psychoanalysis at Frankfurt University in Germany, where he studied under Dr. Rohde-Dachser and Juergen Habermas.
After finishing a two-year internship at Dartmouth Medical School in 1992, he became a professor at the University of Wyoming and while there was awarded a Fellowship by the American Psychoanalytic Association.
In 1998, he became the Director of Clinical Training at Argosy University-Seattle. Later he served as Chair of the Department of Psychology at Bastyr University until 2003. He has published on Amazon Meta-Mathematical Foundations of Existence: Goedel, Quantum, God and Beyond, and is currently working on Dating in the Age of Covid.
He is the creator of the GRateDate App on the Apple Store, which will help you make better dating choices based on your private evaluations and input.
He currently continues to help others with their relationships in his practice in Seattle. But is in the process of reducing it in order to become a full-time writer/blogger/trouble-maker.
He has a great son who is currently in Med School and loves to spend time outdoors hiking up mountains, cross country skiing, enjoys dynamic conversations and parties with or without drinks
