Dr. Kahn is a Health Psychologist trained to use psychological interventions to treat the interplay of the mind, body, and ones lifestyle on health and illness.
His treatment methods blend counseling and psychotherapy with tools such as relaxation techniques, meditation, biofeedback, and clinical and self-hypnosis. We work with the following medical and lifestyle concerns.
- Stress Management
- Insomnia
- High Blood Pressure
- Managing Pain
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
- Coping With Acute and Chronic Illness and Disability
- Preparation for Surgery and Other Medical and Dental Procedures
- Controlling Unhealthy Habits Such As Over-eating and Smoking
- Developing and Sustaining a Healthy Lifestyle (eating and exercise)
Our services are complimentary to traditional medical treatment. We will collaborate with your physician and other health care providers as needed. We also make recommendations to other complimentary services such as acupuncture and massage when we believe they can help.
Recognizing the impact of medical problems on one's family and most important relationships, we will be sure to involve the significant people in your life for family counseling or refer you to a marriage and family therapist.
A brief initial telephone consultation will establish whether what you are looking for is a good fit with the services Dr. Kahn provides.
The initial consultation is an opportunity for you and the psychologist to arrive at a working understanding of your concerns and a general strategy for proceeding. The specific strategy should be agreed upon by the end of the third session. By that point, you should have a good sense of whether it makes sense to continue.
We pride ourselves in only treating problems for which we are trained and experienced.
