Kevin Waldman
Kevin is a pre-licensed psychotherapist who works with adults, adolescents, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, questions of identity and belonging, and major life transitions. Whether facing career changes, relationship challenges, parenthood, loss, identity concerns, or the uncertainties that accompany adolescence and emerging adulthood, he believes that periods of transition often present meaningful growth opportunities.
While he enjoys working with clients across the lifespan, his primary clinical interest is identity formation, particularly among adolescents and young adults who are making sense of themselves amid influences from family, peers, culture, and social media. Because identity develops within relationships, he also has a particular interest in helping parents and families better understand one another during periods of uncertainty, conflict, and change.
Kevin's work is grounded in psychodynamic and relational psychotherapy. He believes psychology is best understood within the context of a person's developmental history, relationships, and lived experience. Exploring these experiences is not about reliving the past - it is about understanding how they continue to influence the present. Therapy provides an opportunity to better understand one's lived experiences while developing the resilience, perspective, and flexibility needed to navigate life's challenges, adapt to change, and find meaning through periods of transition.
What is Relational Psychotherapy?
Relational psychotherapy views psychological well-being through a developmental lens, recognizing that our identities, emotional lives, and interpersonal patterns are shaped by ongoing interactions with family, peers, intimate relationships, educational settings, workplaces, social media, and the broader culture. Understanding how these relational and environmental influences have contributed to one's development allows therapy to move beyond symptom reduction alone, fostering greater self-awareness, psychological autonomy, emotional resilience, healthier relationships, and more intentional engagement with the people and environments that shape our lives.
