Kafko Psychological Services

At KPS, we believe that everyone needs someone to talk to. We understand that coming in for therapy isn't always easy, but we make the process as stress-free as possible. We create a judgment-free atmosphere of trust and comfort, where people can feel truly heard. Our team of licensed psychologists and therapists uses a blend of analysis of past experiences and understanding of present-day stressors to help develop greater awareness. We help clients develop new coping strategies and relaxation techniques, using cognitive-behavioral strategies such as breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, and occasional homework assignments to build a toolbox of resources for use in real-life situations.
