Dr. Blair Steel, Psy.D
Dr. Blair Steel is a licensed psychologist and the clinical supervisor at pH Wellness, where she oversees clinical care and supports the team treating each guest. Her work centers on a single question that has shaped her whole career: why some people move through hardship and come out stronger while others get caught in cycles they cannot break.
She studied Psychology and Philosophy as a dual major at Manhattan College in New York City, then earned a master’s in counseling psychology before entering a doctoral program. Her focus took hold during graduate training, when she interned at Beit T’Shuvah and specialized in substance abuse treatment. As a doctoral candidate she worked as a primary therapist at Cliffside Malibu, alongside a clinical team that shaped how she practices today. After the California Board of Psychology licensed her, she moved into leadership as Program Director at Passages Malibu.
She brings that experience to her role at pH Wellness. Blair came to pH for its real commitment to the well-being of guests and staff alike, and she leads the clinical team with the same standard of care she has built over two decades in the field. She has kept a private practice throughout her career, has been a guest on podcasts covering physical and mental health, and has written for The Huffington Post, CNBC, and Well + Good.
Blair has seen what drugs and alcohol do to the mind, body, and spirit, and she chose this work to be part of the solution: helping people want to be present in their own lives again. Outside the office she is an advocate for wellness who loves to travel, eat well, read, and get outdoors.
