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.

Healing and change are possible for all of us. I am reminded daily of people's innate ability to mend and grow if they are provided with the right tools in a supportive and compassionate environment.

I create a safe space where we can work together to allow scars to heal and transformative change to take place. My clients experience healing from sexual
trauma
, adverse life events, relationship issues, generalized anxiety, and dissociative symptoms and they find freedom from feeling "stuck".
Campbell States
Clinical Social Work/Therapist
Verified
People come to treatment for a lot of reasons. Some severe- suicidal ideation,
trauma
, dissociation, self-harm, moments of crisis when life splits apart into a distinct before and after. Others appear to have a life that seems fine- stable work and/or relationships but experience a persistent and burbling sense that life is not as satisfying as it could be. Some have a question that needs answering- should I leave my partner? My job? Have a baby? End a pregnancy? Come out? Let go of a part of my identity that others value about me but no longer fits? How do I live a more passionate and creative life? Who am I? What is art?
