Michael Kestenbaum

Dr. Michael Kestenbaum, a dedicated psychologist with a PhD, believes in the power of integration and balance as guiding principles in therapy. He understands that individuals may sometimes feel lost, curious, or confronted with their current life circumstances. He sees the potential for profound change, especially during moments of struggle, and recognizes that some may have grappled with a coherent sense of identity regardless of external success or security. Dr. Kestenbaum works collaboratively with his clients to explore and better understand their strengths and weaknesses, encouraging personal growth and adaptive coping strategies in the face of life's challenges. His approach fosters an environment where clients can express emotions that are often difficult to articulate through speech, writing, art, or self-reflection. With extensive experience in clinical psychology, he has successfully assisted children, adolescents, and adults facing a wide range of concerns, including mood disorders, trauma, anxiety, and identity confusion. He currently serves clients from diverse backgrounds and is known for employing culturally sensitive therapeutic approaches, including positive psychology, art therapy, and trauma-focused modalities.
