Dr. Kathe Hift, PhD

I have been practicing for over 40 years so I am struck by how different everybody's emotional stressors are now than ever before. First we had the pandemic and now we have the emotional challenges that are confronting us every day in dealing with the news. I feel that therapy is particularly important right now so that people don't feel alone with their emotional distress and have the emotional energy to deal with their own personal difficulties so that they can try to thrive in their own lives.

Dr. Hift was very easy to talk to and I felt comfortable speaking with her about very personal matters. She was respectful and I felt that I could be very honest with her. Her empathy helped me to express my feelings. She is intelligent and knowledgeable and her observations helped me to better understand some of the issues that I have been struggling with.

Dr Kathe Hift is an exceptional therapist. She has extensive experience in child treatment, adult therapy and psychoanalysis, couple therapy, she has been a true life coach for me. She is an empathetic, highly skilled professional. I am extremely grateful and could not thank her enough for the life-changing help she provided to me and my family.

I feel lucky that I found Dr. Kathe Hift in a very hard time of my life. She was able to guide me through difficult life circumstances, and help me understand the root of my problems. She also helped me took steps towards a life that today is more fulfilling and happy, and that was the result that I expected from therapy.

I consulted Dr. Hift about my 6-year-old son's emotional difficulties resulting from my very conflictual divorce. She was tremendously helpful! She saw my son in play therapy and me in child guidance. She was comfortable with our speaking French to her which was nice for us. She was always very caring, professional and above all very insightful about both my son and my difficulties. She gives you the understanding and guidance that enables you to solve your problems in a very adaptive way. You no longer feel that you're alone with your problems. Later, impressed by the results with my son, I consulted Dr. Hift for myself. I was very lucky a friend recommended her to me. It really changed my life!

SNVerified patient

What sets Dr. Hift apart from other psychologists is her unique approach of supporting both the child AND the parent during child treatment. My son saw Dr. Hift regularly each week and I did as well. Her guidance and perspective on my son's emotional challenges helped me learn how to be the best mother for my son and also provided me with encouragement and a place to share what was happening at home each week. I can't recommend Dr. Hift highly enough.

KPVerified patient

I thought Dr. Hift was terrific. She not only projects warmth and understanding, but her insights are outstanding. You feel she is following closely everything you say and can be supportive as well as helpful. I could hardly wait to see her again, both in order to talk and to hear what she had to say. She is also inspiring. She makes you feel hopeful about what matters to you. Her explanations of things are also very accessible and clear. I am amazed at how closely she listens and how well she remembers what I say.

I don't know what we would have done without her! This doctor expertly guided us through our daughter's evolving mental health crises providing knowledge, support, and countermeasures that saved her life -- and ours.
