Gregory Kaufman

Gregory Kaufman approaches therapy with a belief that there is always a way forward and that it is possible to be present even while navigating difficult experiences. He entered the mental health field in 2001 and has been conducting therapy since 2011, bringing eleven years of clinical experience to his work in Massachusetts.

He enjoys supporting people on their paths and values the human connection that helps foster change in a world filled with conflict. Gregory draws from a range of therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), narrative therapy, mindfulness practices, family systems work, and personality-focused methods—often incorporating the Enneagram to deepen self-understanding.

While Gregory pays close attention to clients' present-day experiences as a guide to what may need to shift, he also emphasizes the importance of examining family of origin patterns, beliefs, and habitual responses that shape how people relate to themselves and others. He views these patterns as neither inherently good nor bad - rather, they are material to work with in therapy.

His clinical background includes substantial work with substance abuse recovery, trauma, loss, and life transitions. One of the most meaningful responses he receives from people in treatment is that they feel safe with him and know he is nonjudgmental. He holds a Master of Arts and is a licensed independent clinical social worker in Massachusetts (license number 116040). If his approach seems like a good fit, Gregory welcomes hearing from prospective clients.
