Getting to know Dustin Rifkin

What if your challenges no longer held you back—how would your life change? My name is Dustin Rifkin, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I have a diverse background helping people who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, and emotional challenges. I also support individuals navigating addiction and recovery.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Using a mix of mindfulness, CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care, I tailor sessions to what actually works for you—whether that means breaking down tough emotions, learning new coping strategies, or just having an honest space to process life. I believe in a collaborative, no-judgment approach where we work together to help you gain control over your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Therapy with me isn’t just about talking—it’s about real change, at a pace that feels right for you.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I believe in a collaborative approach to therapy. After we get to know each other, I like to start by giving you tangible skills that provide immediate relief while we work toward your long-term goals. on. My goal is to help you feel empowered, build resilience, and discover a new way of seeing your life.
