Ian Kubiak

Hey there, I’m Ian.

My approach to psychotherapy is insight oriented and seeks to help you have a better relationship with your mind.  Insight oriented psychotherapy involves trying to understand the meaning of the symptoms that bring you into therapy. By sitting together we will learn to listen to what comes up in your mind and in your body, and from this process we work towards a deeper understanding of your sense of self and patterns within your life. By increasing your self-awareness, I hope to increase your sense of internal freedom, equanimity, and self-compassion. 

I have roots in psychodynamic psychotherapy, mindfulness, and I am EMDR trained by EMDRIA approved consultants. When the time is right, I think incorporating a holistic approach to your overall wellness is a helpful adjunct to therapy.  Areas addressed in my practice include stress management, meaning, grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationships. 

I completed both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from Western Michigan University, and I am licensed as a professional counselor. I  have been working professionally with folks in community based as well as inpatient and outpatient settings since 2012.

When I’m not in the office, I love being outside and trail running, camping, or walking.  I also like to pretend I know what I’m doing in my garden.
