Dan Fink
MA, LMFT

I am a nerd, a leader, and a supporter. I grew up moving between different homes, cities, and ways of life. I have an appreciation for unconventional childhoods, families, and communities. I love traveling the world and experiencing other cultures, mostly through their food.

My Story

During the dot com movement of the nineties, I worked as a computer and networking technician and by the turn of the century I was the manager of information technology for a large insurance company. Corporate tech was exciting, but I wanted to refocus my career on improving the well-being of others, so I returned to academia and earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology with a focus on cognitive science at UCLA, followed by a master’s degree in clinical psychology with a specialization in applied community psychology from Antioch University in Los Angeles. I am a Founding Partner, Supervisor, and Therapist at Relational Associates, the Organization Development Director of The Relational Center, and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.
