About Dr. Kahn
I have been providing clinical and forensic psychology services to individuals, couples and families in Sonoma County since 1980. In my private practice, I have worked with divorcing and divorced individuals and families in psychotherapy, mediation, co-parent counseling, and divorce coaching. For many of those years, I performed court-ordered custody evaluations.
As a staff psychologist for twenty years in the Department of Psychiatry at the Kaiser Permanente Santa Rosa Medical Center, I performed individual and group psychotherapy on the Adult Services Team. While at Kaiser, I co-developed and co-developed and implemented treatment groups for individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression.
