Ivan Kaufman

Registered Mental Health Counseling Intern

Ivan believes that no human is a stranger to pain. Suffering is often an unwanted companion on our journey through life that can bind us to our past, keep us from the present, and darken the future. But in order to find the light, we must first touch the darkness. It is in this space that Ivan is committed to walking with clients through their trials that they are experiencing.

Ivan works from a relational counseling modality because he believes that it is through interpersonal connection that we can experience our greatest healing. Ivan loves working with people of all backgrounds in any stage of life. He is particularly passionate about helping clients navigate issues surrounding sexuality, complex PTSD, and survivors of sexual abuse.

Ivan has degrees in Religion, Behavioral Sciences, and a MA in Clinical Counseling. Outside of the office, Ivan is always trying to learn something new and share a meal or beverage with the people he cares about most. He spends most of his free time reading, watching movies, dancing, playing table-top role-play and board games.
