I specialize in working with families, couples, and children & adolescents. I strive to form relationships with my clients built upon trust, authenticity and collaboration. Working together we are able to open and expand possibilities to heal from pain, transform destructive cycles, and grow towards richer, more satisfying lives and relationships. Relationships often get stuck because we are unaware of ways we have hurt others and been hurt ourselves. Sometimes our best efforts to make things better seem to exacerbate the problem. I work to raise insight, facilitate healing, and open possibilities to connect in more satisfying ways.

I have been offering psychotherapy to individuals, couples and families for the past 27 years. I would particularly like to work with couples, whether it is in the very beginning of the relationship to check for compatibility, during the relationship to deal with problems that arise, or working on amicable separation. I offer conflict resolution to individual, couples and families. I am also trained in divorce mediation to work on uncontested divorce where we can create a win/win situation for both parties. All the work can be done in a few sessions and this could save you legal fees that can run into tens of thousands of dollars.

Hello, my name is Kevin Kuhlow. I am a licensed drug and alcohol counselor and executive coach. I work with a broad range of elite performers who have allowed alcohol and other negative behaviors to impact their relationships, their health and their overall happiness. My clients include business executives, law enforcement and military professionals, elite athletes, entrepreneurs and other professionals. By researching the habits of top performers and integrating them with evidence-based treatment practices I help clients achieve optimal conditioning of the mind, body and spirit.

The burning question: "Should I be concerned by my child's behavior, lack of communication, or new friends... or is this just a phase"?
There are many variables as to why children/adolescents begin acting differently and sometimes this is just a natural progression in your child becoming their own individual. However, other times these are warning signs that something problematic is involved and you are correct to be concerned.

I work with children and teens struggling with problems around school, mood and behavior while providing developmental guidance and effective parenting skills for parents. I work extensively with adults struggling with relationship and mood problems while providing secrets of effective communication.. Through providing a safe and relaxed environment, I guide them through a process of self-examination of their own patterns of thoughts, feelings, and relationship styles that kept them from getting what they want.
