Kevin James Kavanaugh, Psychologist
Kevin Kavanaugh is a Psychologist in Wisconsin who has been practicing since 2017. He has a PsyD from Midwestern University.
Kevin utilizes a variety of clinical modalities including DBT, CBT, EMDR and other theoretical orientations blended into his practice. He has worked with age ranges from 18 all the way up to 80, and enjoys helping people process, reflect, assess, and direct themselves towards a more positive and holistic future. Kevin tends to be pretty flexible and is a firm believer that therapy works best when both therapist and client feel comfortable and open with each other and find solutions that work best based on each individual situation, not based on what can just be recited out of a textbook or manual verbatim. Kevin works best with clients who prefer a more colloquial style but is educated in the scientific background of the work as well to inform the modalities he utilizes.
Outside of work, Kevin enjoys creative writing, hiking through nature preserves, movies, trying out new recipes in his cast iron skillet and dabbling in video games. He likes trying new things out and seeing what sticks!
