Hi there! I’m Rikal Kahanov, a licensed therapist with a passion for helping people understand themselves better, allowing them to navigate relationships and cultivate emotional well-being.
I’ve always been interested in understanding the inner workings of people’s feelings, thoughts, and decisions. This, as well as my passion for being a sounding board for others and helping them get to the heart of any issue is what has led me to this field.
My approach is compassionate, down-to-earth, and relatable. I create an understanding and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. My goal is to empower you with the tools and insights needed to build stronger, more meaningful connections with yourself and others.
Through our work together, I’ll support you in identifying and working through challenges, developing coping strategies, reframing thinking patterns, and gaining a deeper understanding of yourself. I incorporate a psychodynamic approach with CBT, DBT, and somatic techniques.
I have completed Postpartum Support International’s perinatal mental health (PMH-C) training, and I work with parents through pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition into parenthood — including postpartum depression, anxiety, and intrusive thoughts.
I am looking forward to working together to help you achieve clarity, resilience, and a wholesome, fulfilling life.
