Psychotherapy and Consultation

Trauma & PTSD

Attention Deficit & Autism Spectrum

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.

Groups

Depression and Anxiety

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.

Psychological Testing, Assessment, and Evaluations

At NF Psychotherapy, we complete both brief and comprehensive psychological evaluations of each patient who may be in need of a more accurate diagnostic assessment. Detailed treatment plans and recommendations are developed for each identified mental health issue; subsequently accompanied by a comprehensive treatment plan which may include referrals for medical and psychopharmacological interventions, neuropsychological assessments, casemanagement, vocational rehabilitation, formal substance abuse treatment, or other support services including disability. Our approach to the provision of mental health services is to develop and focus on a paralleled and integrated approach to treatment; one which stresses the need to treat the whole person utilizing effective services and supports.
