Do you struggle with challenging emotions or symptoms of trauma? With over 30 years experience working with children, teens and adults, my attachment based approach combines didactic and somatic approaches to best fit the needs of every client.

My compassionate and down to earth process examines old patterns that no longer serve you as you discover new empowered parts of yourself. We work on concrete tools to address issues such as anxiety, depression, and symptoms of trauma.

Hello, a bit about myself and my style: I established my practice in NYC in 1995, and have been helping clients maximize their potential and resolve patterns that impede that development. Today my practice is styled along the lines of a concierge: independent in home, office or virtual. I look forward to hearing from you soon. All the best, Dr Kevin

Are you dissatisfied with work, school, or relationships? Maybe something has happened recently that’s caused you to feel overwhelmed, sad or worried. Perhaps you aren't sure what's causing your distress, which has left you feeling scared, confused and alone.

I received my Master of Social Work degree from Simmons College. My objective is to give you the tools you need to overcome obstacles in your life. I have experience with children, families, youth, and adult populations, but I specialize in treatment for depression, grief, trauma, and anxiety.

Everyone possesses the innate wisdom and ability to heal, grow, and change. Therapy provides a safe and supportive space for introspection and emotional processing, allowing us to better understand ourselves with curiosity and compassion. By gaining insight into our behaviors and patterns, we can use this understanding to guide us toward healthier choices and new directions.

If you’ve done a lot of inner work but are still anxious, uneasy, or stuck in old patterns that you know are no longer serving you, I would love to help. My clients are sensitive, wise, and intentional. They are parents, friends, leaders, and helping professionals seeking to be more integrated, present, and connected in their lives. Our work will help you process stuck emotions and stored trauma to access your innate wisdom so you can feel more alive and connected. My practice is inclusive to people of all backgrounds, races, and identities.

Do you long for greater love and purpose in your life? Do you feel lonely? Stuck in your struggles? Group therapy can help you find deeper meaning and belonging through the practice of authenticity: "letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are" (Brené Brown). Therapy Groups help you bring your full authentic self into connection to transcend loneliness and find more fulfilling relationships. Group can help you lean into your life with more courage, compassion and vulnerability. Group can support your unique journey as you find your way home to where you belong, and to the relationships that sustain you.

I think you deserve to feel better! Therapy is a great way to start to feel more empowered, confident, and aligned with your goals. Here is a bit about me: I am a Licensed Social Worker with a big emphasis on the mind/body/spirit connection. My goal is to help clients identify and capitalize upon their ability to cope with emotional distress and live fulfilling lives. My approach is change-oriented, with a focus upon developing new ways of thinking, behaving, and responding to life’s challenges. I meet you where you are at and together, as a team, we help you reach your goals.

Making the decision to start therapy is one the best gifts you can give yourself. That might sound a bit cliché, but giving yourself permission to focus on your own needs and discover more about yourself can be an incredible process. This is especially true if perhaps you’ve gotten used to putting the needs of others first, by being a caregiver to a parent or family member who may be struggling with a physical or mental illness or substance misuse. Learning to put the focus back on yourself and figuring out what gives you happiness and fulfillment is one the many ways that a good therapeutic relationship can enrich your life.

Clients come to me when they have reached a crossroads in their life. Life may have suddenly become challenging because of conflicts in employment, family relationships, or dating/romantic relationships in a way that is overwhelming and difficult to understand. Sometimes we come to a place in our lives where we desire better for ourselves. However, we recognize the way we have been operating is no longer working. We need to process our past and present experiences to get to a place of personal freedom. *~~~Please email for inquiries. Phone calls are difficult to track. Thank you~~~*
