Kenny Chubinsky (he/him/his)

I have worked in an intensive outpatient/partial hospitalization program specifically for people experiencing chronic illness and pain. I also have experience working in hospice, nursing homes, as well as providing in-home counseling to people with chronic illness. Although there is no one-size-fits-all approach to treating illness, I do believe some personalized blends of techniques and interventions may offer some benefit.

I have obstructive sleep apnea and have experienced chronic insomnia firsthand. I know what an extraordinary challenge the difficulty or inability to sleep can be. I DO NOT provide sleep studies nor any physical/medical examinations for sleep. I DO provide interventions such as mindfulness, meditation, cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) to help relax the nervous system and change one's own thinking about sleep.

I identify as neurodivergent and am familiar with the unique, day-to-day challenges ADHD may pose to areas such as focus, concentration, productivity, time management, and more. I believe that no two people experience ADHD in the same way, and I help people identify their own struggles, as well as strengths.

I received clinical supervision from an attachment-based therapist specializing in sexuality. Through my training, I came to understand the therapy space as a mirror and microcosm of our relationships outside the therapy space. I believe that therapy can be impactful because one's relationship with a therapist can be used as a tool to examine the ways that person engages with others in their life.

I have experience running DBT groups in the PHP/IOP (partial hospitalization/intensive outpatient) level of care and am comfortable integrating concepts from DBT into sessions with my clients. I have found that the tenets and ideas of DBT can be very helpful in helping clients cope with difficult emotions.

I love integrating mindfulness, as well as meditation, when appropriate, into my sessions. Not only do I use mindfulness in my professional work, I love using it to help myself be more present in my own life.

I love integrating mindfulness into my sessions with clients and have done this consistently since I began in the mental health field. Not only do I use mindfulness in my professional work, I love using it to help myself be more present in my own life. This can include techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, grounding exercises, among others.
