She especially enjoys working with young adults in college, men and women in early career and mid-life, couples working to strengthen their relationship, and older adults managing empty nests and retirement.
As a psychologist and a coach, Dr. Kantor integrates the use of inquiry, insight and creative problem-solving along with thoughtful self-reflection, hands-on homework assignments, and honest conversation.In addition, Dr. Kantor also makes use of some cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques. She aims to help her clients direct their lives with more awareness, self-compassion, and deliberate intention, while also helping her clients consider how past experiences and beliefs might be interfering with living their lives optimally.
