For the past 13 years I have worked with youth and their families who are struggling with a variety of mental health issues or relationship difficulties. Often the clients I support are families who are experiencing conflict and whose members are feeling disconnected or teenagers and young adults who are struggling with intense emotions and are engaging in behaviours that are concerning to themselves or their caregivers. I work well with people who are interested in transforming themselves and their relationships rather than those who are focused on symptom reduction alone. I work with adults who have experienced childhood trauma.

What if you could actually be happy every day? Hi I'm Dunn Kaufman, a counselor and therapist. For the past 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.

I believe in an empathic, collaborative approach, so that you may always be part of the therapeutic process. Psychotherapy allows for a unique relationship, whereby the focus of attention is on understanding you. It provides an opportunity for openness, trust and honesty, often difficult in other interpersonal situations. It can help you to increase your resilience to life challenges and improve relationships. I use a range of therapy modalities according to the best fit for your needs and personality. Greater meaning in life can be achieved by longer term therapy, but also brief periods of therapy which are cumulative.

No Band-aid solutions here. Helping Individuals and Couples Facing: Sex Addictions, Healing Affairs, Sexual Trauma or Abuse, Porn Addiction, Love Addiction and Sex Crimes are my specialties.

According to Parole Services, I have never had someone sexual re-offend while under my care and have only had 5 couples ever separate under my care. I can help with sexual enhancement, growing in intimacy, and relationship recovery. Imagine the possibilities that good therapy can have in your life!!
