Getting to know Susan Kaufman

Susan Kaufman, LMFT123914. I view therapy as an opportunity to examine current thoughts and behaviors, appreciate what works, and change what doesn’t. I use an individualized, solution-focused approach, integrating mindful awareness, cognitive behavior therapy, humanistic philosophy, and neuropsychology. My approach No two individuals or couples are alike, so my approach is tailored to each person’s needs and goals. I often use cognitive behavioral techniques for anxiety and depression. I integrate neuropsychology and humanistic theory when working with trauma and relational issues. For couples, I often start with the Gottman approach and collaborate to explore their needs and goals. My focus My specializations include parenting relational issues, depression, anxiety, life transitions, parenting support, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, trauma/PTSD, and addiction. My communication style I am soft-spoken and gentle but straightforward. Many long-term clients say my care and desire to help are evident and sustaining. Life brings challenges, and I want to help clients not only survive but thrive. My journey to mental healthcare I have always been an empath, attuned to others’ feelings. Early on, I believed I could make a difference helping people in mental pain. I love what I do and feel privileged to work with clients seeking to improve their lives. I am deeply moved by the growth and change I witness daily. My education I earned my Master’s in Psychology from Antioch University. My goals for you In the first session, I ask clients their therapy goals. For those who can articulate them, we write them down and check in periodically to track progress.
