TERRI KAUFMAN, LICSW
Life is a Dance You Learn as You Go...
People seek therapy for a multitude of reasons. Our journey can sometimes be confusing, frustrating or painful. Developing skills to handle challenges gives a sense of relief and control over the best self we can be in the moment.
ABOUT ME
I am a Licensed Social Worker with a part-time practice.   I specialize in helping people identify and achieve their personal goals by coping with the issues that are causing them distress, anxiety, and stress. My counseling style is insight oriented, allowing you to express what you need and make the connections that allow you to move forward.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT OUR FIRST SESSION...
Life throws many surprises at us, and while we cannot predict the outcome of any situation, we can take control of how we respond. That takes skill, time and practice.
I tend to be a visual and creative thinker. I often put thoughts into images. Most first sessions you will hear me say "your head is full of spaghetti". You come into my office (a safe place) "and throw your spaghetti on the floor and instead of being stuck in the big gooey glob, we look at the individual strands and begin there".
"It's slow progress, but quitting won't make it any faster"
THE IMPORTANT STUFF...
I am paneled with Molina Medicaid, most Medicare Insurances, Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield
, Aetna, Humana, Pacific Source. Many insurances have subsidiaries so these are only the major insurance panels. I also provide private pay of $60.00 an hour and on a limited basis, sliding scale fee.

Hours of operation:
My practice is part-time. I generally have evening and weekend appointments avaliable as well as Wednesday afternoons.
