Dr. Samantha Kaufman

Hi! I’m Dr. Samantha Kaufman, a licensed psychologist who works with high-functioning adults navigating anxiety, OCD, burnout, and adult ADHD/executive functioning challenges (overwhelm, time management, follow-through, and organization). My approach is evidence-based and eclectic, and I often use CBT while tailoring sessions to each client’s needs. Depending on what works best for you, therapy can be more structured and skills-focused or more relaxed and insight-oriented. I also support clients with personality disorders/personality-related concerns (including Cluster B patterns), with a focus on emotional regulation, interpersonal functioning, and lasting change.

My style is supportive, understanding, and nonjudgmental. I don’t believe therapy is one-size-fits-all—everyone has a different story and different needs. I’m direct when it’s helpful, while also making sure clients feel validated and emotionally safe. I focus on solutions, practical coping tools, and helping you make meaningful changes that last.

In our first session, you can expect a warm, nonjudgmental space where we’ll focus on what’s bringing you to therapy and what you want to change. I’ll ask questions to understand your history, current stressors, and symptoms, while also getting a sense of what has (and hasn’t) helped in the past. We’ll begin identifying patterns and setting clear goals so you leave with more clarity and direction. Depending on your needs, you may also leave with practical strategies you can start using right away.
