More About Kyle Dufek

Clinical Interests:

I help teens, adults, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges with compassion, curiosity, and evidence-based care. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of your next steps, therapy can be a space to find clarity and relief. I specialize in couples therapy and am passionate about helping partners rebuild trust, strengthen communication, and reconnect emotionally. I also work extensively with individuals diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and bring deep experience in treating co-occurring mental health and substance use issues.

My practice is grounded in culturally responsive care and a deep respect for the unique story each person brings. I frequently support clients through anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, major life transitions, academic or work stress, and family dynamics.

Clinical Approach:

I believe that every person already holds the wisdom they need to heal and grow—my job is to help you access it. I approach therapy as a collaborative partnership, where your insight and experience guide the process. Together, we’ll work to better understand what’s getting in your way and identify tools that can help you move forward with confidence and self-trust.

As a DBT-certified therapist, I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy to support emotional regulation, healthy relationships, and effective coping. I also draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and the Gottman Method when working with couples. No matter what brings you to therapy, you’ll find an open, nonjudgmental space where your growth is the priority.

Hobbies:

Outside of sessions, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our energetic miniature schnauzer, Theo—who has yet to learn that walks are supposed to be tiring. I love playing and watching sports, going to concerts, and sharing a good laugh whenever possible.

And yes, I believe humor has a place in healing. Couples therapy is the one room where interrupting each other is not only common—it’s finally supervised.
