Finding a caring, dedicated therapist to help you with your psychological or physical difficulties is important. Your time and energy are valuable, and my sessions are 1 to 2 hours, as determined by what you need (please note that EMDR sessions are 1 1/2 hours).

Please consult my website at KevinDrab.com to learn more about myself and my therapeutic approaches. I do not see individuals younger than 20 years old. I do not take insurance, but provide receipts for reimbursement.

I believe that the ability to calm down and solve problems are two of the most crucial skills for success in life! Over the past thirty plus years I have had the honor of having many people from many different backgrounds share their stories of life's victories, challenges, and pain with me.

How does the "talking cure" help? It might have even been called the "listening cure." Having a helpful and supportive ear is something many people find they need at various transition points in their lives. Having a safe place to talk, in a warm and supportive environment, is crucial.

I enjoy working with my patients as they seek to find their way to a richer and more fulfilling life.

I am passionate about helping individuals on their path to self-discovery and leading a genuine and authentic life.
