Dr. Conklin is a clinical psychologist, cofounder, and CEO of the Kingsbury Wellness & Learning Group. He believes that all people love to learn and deserve the opportunity to pursue a fulfilling life. His leadership work is focused on developing educational and mental health systems that recognize the diversity of human creativity and intelligence.
Dr. Conklin’s primary specialty is men’s psychological well-being, with a particular focus on helping men navigate the unique challenges they face in today’s rapidly changing world. He creates spaces where men can develop authentic connections, strengthen self-leadership, and discover meaning in their personal and professional lives. Dr. Conklin helps men articulate their own values and identities while addressing challenges such as social isolation, emotional regulation, parenting frustrations, and the search for purpose.
Dr. Conklin does not only work with men, however. With all of his clients, he carefully examines how individuals process and manage their emotions, thought patterns, and relationships. He employs an integrative therapeutic approach, which tailors evidence-based methods to meet individual needs and capabilities. Dr. Conklin is a deliberately contrarian voice in his field, willing to challenge popular trends and focus on what actually works in therapy. He is well versed in relational psychodynamic, attachment, cognitive-behavioral, and family-based interventions.
Dr. Conklin completed his pre-doctoral internship at Loudoun County Mental Health, and previously received clinical training at Saint Elizabeths Hospital and Neuropsychology Associates of Fairfax. He is a classically trained pianist, writer, and outdoor enthusiast.
