Kevin Lang (He/Him)

My Approach to Helping

I am an Emotion-Focused Therapy trained clinician who takes a humanistic approach to treatment. I blend skills from Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients achieve the goals we set out together. I am very humanistic and existential in my approach, meaning clients who will likely benefit the most are highly motivated and open to exploring openly and authentically. I view clients and their unique issues through an attachment-based lens. I recognize that almost all behaviors make sense in the context of attachment. I use this to help clients make sense of their own behaviors and emotional responses. Together, through experiencing a safe and accepting therapeutic alliance, frightening, alien, and unacceptable emotions can be safely explored.

Why I am a Good Fit for You

None of us come out of childhood without some cuts and bruises. Sometimes physical, but more oftentimes emotional. For many, these emotional wounds are still tender, open, lightly dressed with a bandage, forgotten, or even neglected. So when these emotions get touched we find ourselves reacting in ways that aren’t in line with the kind of person we want to be. Our work will include processing, identifying, and exploring emotions. Learning ways to respond to our thoughts and feelings in ways that allow us to act more in line with our values, which can in turn help you in living a richer and more meaningful life.
