About

Interests

Dr. Steinberg’s interest in family systems and early childhood mental health led to her working with a wide variety of families with children.  She was invited to be the child psychiatric consultant to the N Alberta NICU and Stollery Childrens Hospitals in Edmonton AB.  She established the Richmond Early Childhood Mental Health Program in BC, from which she consulted to the Developmental Pediatric Association of China.  She has presented widely on Infancy and Families.

From this, she became interested in delving deeper into the unfolding of the human mind and emotional life in all its complexities. This led to her psychoanalytic training at NPSI in Seattle Wa, where the focus is on linking both temperamental, familial, early experiences and current life to one’s mental health.   She is now fully qualified as a Fellow of the International Psychoanalytic Association.
