Hi, My name as it appears on my license is Robert Kauffman, but I use the appellation, Roc. I came to this profession after a lengthy career in the home services business. I ended up with an antique furniture repair studio while I attended graduate school and performed internships. For nearly the past twenty years I have engaged with clients in a new way, focusing more on their psychological needs rather than their property needs. In both arenas attentive listening was a skill I possessed and served us well. I am a licensed professional counselor in two states, Massachusetts and Vermont. But enough about me, let's focus on you. The most important element, whether this be your first time or a reappearance, turns out to be you made a decision to reach out for help. Well done. Our first matter of business is to formulate a therapeutic alliance. This may take a while as we become familiar with each other’s learning, teaching and communication styles. Just to provide a heads up, my approach is client centered and comes from a strengths based perspective. We will build our treatment process upon aspects where you have already demonstrated abilities and resiliency. Next, collaboratively we will construct your goals and devise a method to achieve them. My box of tools that apply to this work contains several powerful items. Cognitive-Behavioral assignments seem to keep a person engaged in this work. Insight and Cognitive Interweaves along with Motivational Interviewing seem to clear the path ahead of us. I firmly believe and research bears out that mindfulness practices demonstrate brain changing capabilities. We can experiment with an array of practices and techniques to find some that fit. With persistence and support we will increase your capacity to overcome whatever obstacles you face. My client base from adolescent to elderly spans the rainbow array of cultural diversity. It stretches me to come up with a human characteristic yet to be encountered, although I am certain some exist. I have much experience resolving trauma, grief and loss issues using phase oriented approaches. Adversity, particularly in the early years, usually springs forth many psychological symptoms, namely, anxiety, depression, attachment disorders, personality disorders, mood disorders, substance use disorders, somatic disorders, or even psychotic presentations. By treating the underlying issues, we will find that these psychological symptoms abate. I look forward to being on your team, Sincerely, Roc

PLEASE NOTE: I ONLY OFFER VIDEO SESSIONS AT THIS TIME I am a dually licensed Clinician in Massachusetts. I hold both the LMHC and LADC1 licenses. For over 8 years my professional work focused primarily on helping clients with opioid addiction and being on MAT/MOUD. I have also worked with men incarcerated by the DOC. As a result, my therapy style varies from the standard method to counseling. While I am warm and interactive, I am assertive and direct. While I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, I do not believe in coddling people. I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. As a Clinician, I need to have a foundation set by the client so I can understand why you have come to seek help. I believe that your past is something that happened to you. I do not believe that your past defines who you are in the present or who you can be in the future. I will listen then paraphrase back what I have heard so we can both be sure that I understand you and your needs. My ability to help you relies on your ability to effectively communicate with me. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship and communication issues all secondary to their addiction(s). I also have helped people who have experienced trauma and abuse. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), humanistic, psychodynamic, solution-focused therapy and rational-emotive behavioral therapy (REBT). I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I assign homework which can be challenging for some clients. I do not pretend to have expertise in all areas. I do not shy away from issues I have limited exposure to. That being said, if we attempt to work together and I am not skilled enough to help with your particular concern(s), we can discuss how to get you the help you need. Additionally, as therapy progresses and you change and grow, you may find that you need someone new who may be able to bring a different challenge or approach. That is a wonderful position to be in and again, we can discuss how to help you get your needs met. The therapeutic relationship takes time to build. Everyone needs to be patient with the process. Your issues didn't happen overnight, nor will they be fixed overnight. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to offer support. I look forward to working with you!

I hope you will take the first step in sharing your strengths as a way of attaining the goals you have set for yourself through a shared therapeutic relationship.
