ABOUT NOLYNN KAUFMAN
When individuals face trauma or significant life stressors, it's common for them to be overwhelmed with emotions. My passion lies in providing support and facilitating healing for those feeling lost, lonely, or in need of support. In collaboration with my adult clients, we strive to cultivate healthy self-perceptions, explore cultural and intersectional identities, and achieve liberation from trauma through gentle and curious exploration of their experiences.
Together, we aim to achieve goals, identify core beliefs, and reflect on life experiences, starting from childhood. My objective is for clients to recognize themselves as peaceful, complete, capable, whole, and safe.
My therapeutic approach is holistic, considering the many facets of my clients as unique individuals and the various aspects of their lives. I assist clients seeking therapy for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, trauma, spirituality, family dynamics, religious trauma, grief, life transitions, self-esteem issues, LGBTQIA+ concerns, racial and cultural trauma, harm reduction, mindfulness, and more.
My practice integrates diverse modalities such as Person-Centered therapy, CBT, DBT, Narrative therapy, along with Feminist and Multicultural theories, Psychodynamic, and Adlerian therapy. I hold the belief that what benefits the client is beneficial in therapy. I foster therapeutic relationships by meeting clients where they are, with trust, empathy, positive regard, and a gentle challenge to unhealthy belief systems. Humor and honesty are tools I use to connect with clients, and I take pride in being my authentic self with them.
