I have 6+ years of experience working directly with adults, children, and families in a therapeutic setting and in their homes.
My belief is that counseling is most effective when taking a collaborative and holistic approach. Every individual is unique in their needs and the time it takes to address them. I strive to create a strong, therapeutic relationship that is built on trust, respect, responsibility, empathy, attentiveness, and open-mindedness through communication. My goal is to offer you a safe and supportive space, to walk with you in your journey, explore aspects of the 'self' that you would like to build on, and discover strengths that can be used in your present and future to have the life that you desire.

I’m kink-positive and poly-affirming; I have extensive experience with nontraditional college students, mood disorders, adults who grew up as “gifted and talented” kids, and clients identifying all over, across, and beyond gender and sexuality spectrums! I also fiercely believe in the therapeutic importance of video games, fanfic, D&D, pets, and pop culture.
I’m a systems-savvy, person-centered, radically affirming provider who excels at the intersection where clinical mental health disorders meet cultural and identity issues. I love to explore gender, sexuality, socioeconomic status, race, and everything else that makes you, YOU! I form deep therapy relationships with clients, and love to collaborate on a transparent, personal level. When I challenge you to grow, you’ll know I come from an earnest base of compassion, commitment, and care... I want to help individuals to feel fun, outrageous, and free, and to develop key understandings into their own psychology, preferences, and needs.

Seeking therapy is a courageous step to take when life isn't turning out quite like you envisioned it would. I believe that this decision is one that should be met with unconditional positive regard, compassion, and non-judgmental understanding. I specialize in working with individuals seeking to manage anxiety, depression and other difficult emotions, have more successful and fulfilling relationships, and change harmful or unwanted patterns of behavior. I also work with individuals with significant trauma histories, experiencing grief and loss, or experiencing symptoms of severe mental illness.

Waitlist for new clients
I am a mental health counselor who believes therapy is a process in which you will gain greater self-awareness, that can change how you live in the world and relate to others. We all have issues from our past, big and small traumas, being triggered by our current situations that prevent us from living a more meaningful life. Creating healthy connections with the parts of you that are challenging, builds the resources for you to be more authentic and comfortable in your own skin. By doing this, you find your strengths and face your fears.

Attachment and trauma are my specialties. I work with clients that are struggling in their relationships (family, friends, romantic, etc.) and/or struggling with past or recent truama. I aim at helping client's explore their life's journey and see how the past is currently influencing the present. When growing up, we all needed to feel seen, soothed, safe, and secure by are caregivers, but many of our caregivers/parents, being human, fell short of their capacity to do so. I work with clients to help them see how their own family dynamics while growing up has influenced what they experience in the present day.

Hello. My name is Ronnie Kaufman and I've been in the mental health field for over 40 years. I have a Masters degree in Social Work and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My clients tell me that I make them feel very comfortable and safe talking about things they never would have imagined discussing with a complete stranger. I believe that individuals and couples have within them the potential and resources to cope with life's problems. I also operate from the assumption that how we think, feel and behave is usually rooted in our role in our family of origin and is brought into play in our current lives.
