Kalman Canant, LCSW, CSAT, EMDR trained 681 Argyle Road, Brooklyn, NY 11230

"Kalman provided a positive therapeutic environment and I made quite a bit of progress with him. I felt no judgement. We did a combination of EMDR work and talk therapy. I would definitely recommend Kalman to someone looking for EMDR and/or talk therapy."

"I don't know where to begin, Kalman has certainly changed my life for the better in the three plus years that he has been my therapist and I'm not sure where I would be without his help to get there. He is detail-oriented, and he worked through my messy personal history with great persistence to understand me, and also for me to understand myself better in all of it. In my therapy time with Kalman, he has helped me to work out a plan of action for the various personal issues I have had, and practical ways of understand them through: better understanding my family dynamics, coping mechanisms through CBT, and even healed some of my most broken memories through EMDR. He has worked with me to understand my role in my past relationships and my current ones with my partner, and has even had my partner coming to participate in therapy with me. He has shown me great patience and understanding towards my life, and sometimes (often) when I was late for our therapy meeting. Most importantly, I think that the review should note his great personal character as a therapist who is as wise as he is witty, and I think I might say, a revitalizing realist; he has brought as much, needed, laughter as tears to me, through working through my personal issues together, and I could not be more thankful for that."

"I have been working with Kalman for approximately 6 months and working with him has helped me tremendously. He is incredibly patient, insightful, and nonjudgemental. Kalman has fully convinced me about the benefits of therapy and EMDR and I look forward to continuing to work with him on my healing journey."

"Kalman has fully convinced me to the benefits of therapy. I came to him with anxiety and panic disorders, but left with the wisdom and tools to move forward in life, and a renewed sense of hope. During my sessions with Kalman, I have always been comfortable. Kalman always knows when to use humor to break the ice, and it was never awkward talking to him. He speaks intelligently, kindly, and is a wonderful active listener. Never once have I felt judged by him. That being said, he was also not afraid to challenge my views, statements, and generalizations to reveal thought distortions. I particularly like how transparent he was in our sessions, showing me his thoughts, and how he wants to approach certain issues. It made me feel more in control over my treatment, and ultimately, listened to. I would not hesitate to recommend Kalman to anyone who is thinking about therapy. I thoroughly enjoyed my sessions, and found myself looking forward to seeing him every week. After each session, my mood was always lifted as I felt more empowered to tackle the rest of the week. After two months with Kalman, I feel that I am no longer just surviving, but on the road to thriving."

"Kalman is an excellent therapist. I truly admire his creative approach to the sessions. From the start I felt comfortable and safe to explore in our sessions. Even in a short period of time, I am truly amazed at the amount of growth and confidence I was able to start to rebuild. My life has become so much more manageable and my perspective has been the most positive since I can remember. I cannot thank you enough for helping me find my path. Forever in gratitude."
