Ken Voorhees, LCSW

Specialties

I am committed to providing you with excellent service individually tailored to meet your unique needs and situation. In my experience, the process of therapy works best if we work as a team and focus on specific goals. It is important that you be involved in setting goals for therapy and that you make progress towards these goals. As a therapist I am practical and pragmatic in helping my clients develop a treatment plan that will not only provide them effective relief from symptoms, but one that also can help them develop a new vision for living more creative and fully realized lives. Many of my clients reflect upon past experiences with other therapists where they felt they were not listened too or fully engaged. They appreciate my more human approach that emphasizes both empathic listening and intuitive feed back. They like knowing that I am fully engaged and on their side.

I also specialize and greatly enjoy engaging in Couples Therapy.
