Ivan Kaufman

MA, LMHC

Ivan Kaufman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with graduate training from Reformed Theological Seminary. Ivan believes suffering is often an unwanted companion that can bind people to the past and keep them stuck, yet he also believes change is possible and that engaging the darkness can open a path toward life and hope.

Ivan works with individuals navigating complex trauma, addiction, grief, sexual development concerns, sexuality and gender identity, and adjustment challenges. His approach is relational and integrative, drawing on empirically supported tools with thoughtful, creative application.

Outside of counseling, Ivan enjoys fitness, painting, reading, cooking with friends, and tabletop games.
