“I met Dr Kahoud a couple of years ago. Ive been through "the ringer" my whole life. From cancer and all sorts of trauma. He was the ONLY one who understood what was going on. He is the BEST doctor on the EASTCOAST!
I highly recommend him. He is Genuine and down to earth who isnt brainwashed by the horrible healthcare system.
Thank you, Doc! I wouldn't be here.. If it wasn't for you.”

Getting to know Dr. Dustin Kahoud
If you have explored other treatment options only to find yourself spinning your wheels, you will find that psychotherapy is unique in that it produces lasting changes rather than temporary relief. Unlike many other options, the personal growth you experience in psychotherapy will continue to help you long after ending treatment. As a psychologist with a PsyD in Psychology from Long Island University and a Bachelor's degree from Providence College, my approach is focused on impacting your personal identity, relationships, major life decisions, and overall sense of well-being as you move forward in your life-building atop the foundation you develop in our work together. While I focus on both short-term and long-term goals, the process of change is ongoing and forever unfolding as you discover creative responses and untapped potentials you were previously unaware existed within you.
I work in collaboration with clients to help them discover more adaptive reactions to the difficulties they encounter in the world. I believe that a safe, nonjudgmental space is essential for one to work on their problems with a newfound sense of freedom. Together, we will work toward shining light over pathways to richer experiences, more meaningful relationships, and deeper overall satisfaction in life.

My fiancé & I have been seeing Dr. Kahoud for almost 3 months now & after researching many doctors I'm glad I chose him. He's very down to earth & very patient. He listens. He observes & he analyzes. There are times when he gets quiet after you've spoken but you know it's only because he's dissecting what you've just said. It's then that he hits you with the perfect comeback! We will be going to see him for a little while longer and we highly recommend him.

Overall, Dustin was very helpful in addressing my issues. I have certainly felt better after every visit and look forward to every appointment with him. He's been a phenomenal help and I'm glad to have begun my therapeutic process with him.

I've been seeing doctor kahoud for alcohol abuse for two months. He is warm, smart and intuitive. I highly recommend him, as he's been a huge help to me. The office is in a great location, with parking never an issue, and my appointments start on time.
August 27, 2016John G.Verified patient
Very easy to talk with, and very understanding. Every session is easy going (which is significant for me, considering I see him for my anxiety).
I would recommend any individual looking for help with their anxiety or panic disorder to try a session or two with him. I personally feel much better after the time I have spent with him, compared to when i met him for the first time.
Overall:
-Really good guy
-Great sense of humor
-Very understanding
-Great person to open up/talk with

Doctor Kahoud helped me at one of the worst times of my life and helped me address my issue and move on and forward. Now, our sessions help me let some steam off after a stressful week and seek personal improvements. Doctor Kahoud is extremely attentive, helpful, and treats his patients in a very unique manner personalized to their personal need. I would highly recommend him to any of my family and friends.

My visit with doctor Kahoud as a very comfortable one as compared to my visits with any other psychologist. When I met with Dustin Kahoud my first time, I instantly felt satisfied with his help and his guidance. The flexibility, awareness of my problems, and assesments are components one would not be able to find elswhere. Since my first visit, I have been happily seeing him on a weekly basis for almost a year without any issues with his service whatsoever.

I have to say, I was very skeptical about doing marriage counseling with my husband, but I am feeling very hopeful after meeting with Dr. Kahoud. He was really intuitive and quickly picked up on some of the major issues we have as a couple. He was also very present and in tune with us as a couple. My husband was so against going until he met Dr. Kahoud. We look forward to continuing work with him.

I connected to Dr. Kahoud right away. He was easy to talk to & didn’t judge what I had to say. I felt very comfortable & safe talking to him & I will continue to see him on a regular basis.

After 14 years of battle with a severe opiate addiction and numerous failed attempts at therapy I had given up hope on ever getting sober. Then I met w/ Dr. Kahoud and every thing changed, I finally met a therapist thot I had faith in and who I knew also had faith in me and my ability to overcome. With Dustin help I have over a year sober now. Thank you!
