Kevin Goldwater
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Associate Psychotherapist
Internship Coordinator, Social Engagement Coordinator
Kevin joined Embodied Mind in 2020 as a clinical intern, completing a dual degree in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness and LGBTQ Health, Education and Social Services at NYU. He strongly believes in the dynamic being, understanding that each person comes from a unique combination of cultural, familial and diverse experiences, tailoring his integrative approach accordingly.
Coming from Chicago, Kevin received a BA in Applied Psychology at NYU with a focus on Social and Cultural Analysis and Music. During this time, Kevin worked as an Editorial Assistant for a private therapy practice as well as a book reviewer for the International Journal of Psychotherapy and Somatic Psychotherapy Today, and had the opportunity to learn multicultural and psychopathological treatment modalities while abroad in Sydney, Australia.
He draws from psychodynamic, attachment-based, social justice, creative art and trauma informed psychotherapy. Kevin’s work specializes in depression, anxiety, grief, relationships as well as LGBQAIP and trans clients. Meeting clients where they are, he aims to hold space for the clients’ full lived experience and collaborate with them to reach honest emotional expression and experience a more authentic and fulfilling life.
In his spare time, Kevin enjoys walking next to dog parks and exploring the city’s botanic gardens. He also serves as an Adjunct Professor at NYU Steinhardt.
