Dr. Stephanie Akl, PsyD

Dr. Stephanie Akl, PsyD

Psychologist
WV
Dr. Stephanie Akl is a Clinical Psychologist who brings genuineness, openness, curiosity, and commitment to her work with clients. She holds strongly to the belief that the glass is neither half empty nor half full, but refillable. This optimistic and practical philosophy shapes her approach to therapy as she helps clients better understand complex patterns, recognize new possibilities, and develop thoughtful plans for meaningful change. Dr. Akl earned her Bachelor of Science in Communication from the University of Miami, where she majored in Public Relations and Psychology. She later earned her Master of Science in Psychology and Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology from Nova Southeastern University. Dr. Akl grew up in Northern Virginia, in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. With a father who was a surgeon and a mother who was an intensive care nurse, she was introduced early to the demands of healthcare. Their careers helped her recognize that she did not want to practice medicine, but the values surrounding their work left a lasting impression. Growing up in a large family, she saw compassion, service, and a genuine interest in caring for and understanding others consistently modeled around her. These experiences ultimately influenced the kind of work she wanted to pursue. A natural problem-solver, Dr. Akl has always enjoyed puzzles, complex patterns, and the process of developing strategies to improve a situation. She realized that these interests, combined with her desire to help others, could form the foundation of a deeply meaningful career. Psychology offered her an opportunity to bring those passions and strengths together while supporting people through challenges, discoveries, and personal growth.
