Getting to know Nathaniel Hayes Kavan

What is Nathaniel’s approach to therapy? Nathaniel Hayes-Kavan takes a warm, humanistic, and collaborative approach to therapy, blending empathy with goal-oriented strategies. He creates a supportive, flexible space where clients feel heard and empowered, while working toward meaningful and sustainable change. Drawing from evidence-based practices like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and solution-focused techniques, he tailors each session to meet the unique needs and strengths of the individual. Who does Nathaniel work with? Nathaniel specializes in working with high-functioning neurodivergent individuals, which could include those experiencing attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, learning challenges, and more. He also enjoys working with aging and chronically ill populations, and those navigating anxiety, mood disorders, grief, trauma, life transitions, and end-of-life concerns. He also supports clients working through family dynamics, self-esteem, school issues, and stress management. What happens in the first therapy session? The first therapy session takes about an hour. Nathaniel explains, “In my style of session, I always open with introductions, explain confidentiality and mandated reporting along with business practices, and then explain what information I received from their intake paperwork so that they can correct any misreadings and go a little deeper on their current needs. After that we typically dive a little deeper than the initial paperwork on some family, work, and school history, which all takes about the first 30 minutes. The remaining 30 minutes is spent exploring what your history of therapy is, what works for you to adapt and survive in your current world, and the style of therapy from your guiding needs to the clinician bringing relevant questions to help guide needs, and everything in between.”
