Therapists in Kitchener, ON

Are you a queer, trans, or neurodivergent person dealing with the hurt of discrimination, rejection, or the feeling that folks around you just don’t understand? Maybe you struggle with trauma symptoms, dissociation, anxiety, depression, self-blame, or low self-worth. It can be hard to get up the courage to come to therapy only to feel like you have to explain the basics of your identity to your therapist. Worse yet, it can be scary to seek therapy when the field of psychology has historically tried to keep us from being our authentic selves.

As humans, we are presented with barriers in both our personal and interpersonal lives; similar to you and the circumstances that have brought you here, sometimes, we require the assistance of another. Seeking support demonstrates the courage and strength it takes to explore and confront your challenges. My first priority is providing a safe, comfortable, non-judgemental, and empathetic environment built on trust. True genuineness, respect, and a sense of compassion are grounded in my therapeutic style. I am an eclectic therapist who employs an integrative approach allowing for a variety of modalities to be utilized based on need, comfort, and what works for you.

I am a registered psychologist with comprehensive experience in the assessment and treatment of a wide variety of difficulties, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), adjustment disorder, anxiety disorders, mood disorders (e.g. depression, bipolar disorder, manic disorders), grief, interpersonal difficulties, pain and health management, anger management, longstanding personality issues, stress management, sleep issues, psychovocational counselling, and self-esteem challenges. I also provide assessment and treatment for patients who have been affected as a result of work-related accidents or motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) and who suffer from driving phobia, in conjunction with a qualified driving instructor.

Life isn't simple, it's filled with experiences and emotions that can be overwhelming and stressful. As experts of our own life, we interpret and internalize various situations and experiences with different lenses and perspectives. Living in the most multicultural city in the world, we are given the opportunity to gain valuable knowledge, insight and perspectives from various cultures and traditions that we can utilize to understand people. I provide an eclectic and holistic approach to therapy to deal with trauma, loss, relationships, conflict, and crisis.

When life gets hard to deal with, it is good to have someone to talk to; Someone with the expertise, professionalism, and compassion to listen, ask the right questions to create clarity and help us find the solution or at least see the light at the end of the tunnel. When dealing with mental and emotional pain, someone with the proper training and experience could be the right person to turn to. I utilize over 10 years of experience in therapy practice to the full benefit of my clients dealing with grief, depression, and anxiety, including those dealing with chronic illnesses such as cancer, as well as youth and parents'

What if you could actually be happy every day? Hi I'm Dunn Kaufman, therapist & couples counselor. For over a decade, I have been helping people like you with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and/or other issues lead the life you know you can have. If you want more out of your life and haven't been able to do so on your own or with your current therapist, then be in touch.

As a therapist, I see myself as a facilitator of change and a witness to my clients' journeys of self-discovery. I believe that everyone has the potential for growth and transformation, and I feel honored to accompany my clients on their path towards healing and wholeness. Taking after others who have inspired me, I encourage my clients to step into their power and courageously embrace their vulnerability as a source of strength and connection. My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and curiosity. I strive to create a non-judgmental and supportive environment where clients feel heard, seen, and understood.

I provide psychotherapy which is grounded on listening and understanding. There is much for me to hear before I get the full picture of what is going on in your life, and lots to discover for you and me together before the time comes for my expert advice. My main discovery of the last decade is that people can come to many therapists, for many times and yet not become ready ever to say openly what is the matter. It is why I know my clients need time to assume that I am really on their side. To figure out, bit by bit, what the possible advice or solution can be and then help you to do that we decide to do, I have my basic training in client-centered psychotherapy (“by Carl Rogers”), and I am a very, very orthodox Rogerian therapist. In addition, I have studied cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectic-behavioral therapy, music psychotherapy and non-directive child play psychotherapy. I will apply in your situation that which matches your particular needs. Also, I realized that some ideas of psychoanalysis, Adlerian psychotherapy, Existential therapy and Logotherapy can be helpful as well.
