Psychotherapy and Consultation

---

Many  individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and  traumatic experiences. Anxiety, depression, fear, and hopelessness are a  few emotions that can follow traumatic events. Therapy is designed to  identify and help overcome these symptoms and guide you through the  process of grief and healing. Play therapy is available for younger  children to address issues related to trauma, anxiety, attachment, and  other childhood concerns.

 Treatment for Attention Deficit and Autism Spectrum includes  psychometric testing and assessments, behavior modification, social  skills training, psycho-education, and other interventions intended to  support patients.      

 Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and  uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at points in our lives.  Therapy will focus on identifying root causes contributing to the target  symptoms and implementing evidence-based treatments to reduce  discomfort and improve quality of life. 

 Consultation from a licensed clinical psychologist can be a helpful resource for organizations, schools, community centers, and more. Contact to identify if your program would benefit from consultation to address risk of suicide, improve staff retention and well-being, and more. 

 Relationship counseling can be beneficial to couples who are  looking to strengthen their emotional connection, in nearly all stages  of their relationship. Therapy is a supportive place to discuss issues  and solutions to better strengthen your relationship.    

 Group therapy can be established to address specific topics and  issues such as social skills, parenting support, anxiety, depression,  and grief. Ideally, groups would be established with at least eight  members and all participants would attend each session (approximately  ten). School administrators are encouraged to contact Dr. Kaufer to  establish groups for students and parents interested in particular  topics, groups established in response to a particular issue or event,  and consultation.
