Aligned with modern
trauma
research and historical Southeast Asian yogic wisdom, somatic therapy allows us to go beyond our cognitive brain and explore + process more of the body's memory held in our nervous system.
Post-traumatic growth, a term meaning that, not only was a person resilient in their ability to heal from an adversity, but that they were actually able to benefit from an adverse event by growing their psychological capacity to empathize, reframe and thrive after
trauma
. As a
trauma
specialist, I aim to focus on the beauty that can come after ugly things happen. It is my hope in the therapy room to encourage healing through curiosity and compassion toward the Self, ultimately creating a home of safety within each individual.

I am also certified in the evidenced based treatment
Trauma

Do you ever find yourself asking “is there more?” or question your feelings of fulfillment? I am committed to helping you find the strength and resilience to persevere. It is incredibly courageous to make the decision to explore yourself in the pursuit of understanding your story. In therapy, you will have opportunities to explore what is working and what is not, unveil parts of yourself that may be challenging to sit with, and learn to embrace them in a way that allows you to be your most authentic and best self. As an art therapist, the creative process may provide a way to communicate when word aren't enough.

Michael A Kaufman
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Verified
I offer advanced seminars on the treatment of
trauma
and supervision to psychotherapists.
I work with a wide range of clients from a variety of cultural backgrounds in person and remotely. Clients learn to reduce stress and work with their feelings in ways that lead to personal growth and development of effective interpersonal skills. Feelings that cause stress, anxiety, depression, excessive self-criticism, perfectionism and emotional flooding are processed so that these problem feelings can lead to growth, greater empathy for self and others as well as greater kindness towards others in their life. Additionally, clients who employ detachment as a means of self-protection develop emotional awareness and intelligence.

In therapy, you can expect me to bring the best tools to meet your needs, building your coping skills, and improving your ability to manage those difficult emotions. If you experienced

trauma
