- LMHC, LPC
Hi! I'm David and I'm a licensed therapist in the states of Indiana & Tennessee. I have a broad range of experiences in mental health, with a wide variety of people served. I love helping people find hope, find their way and help them on their road to a better life; helping people discover what works for them and their own answers for what matters to them. Over the years I've worked extensively with young people and adults with depression, anxiety, anger, hopelessness, doubt, grief, fear and a host of transitional issues.
I don't believe in a one size fits all therapy, so I use an eclectic comfortable style, that provides kindness, compassion, direction, hope and caring, While we work through issues we set a course with goals and objectives to help build hope today and success as we move forward.
I like to provide supportive insight, developing understanding and reaching short-term goals as we work towards long-term goals. The goal is for you to experience a sense of hope and support, while helping you identify your goals and a clear sense of how to achieve them.
I look forward to meeting you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I enjoy talking to David. He is smart and engaging.
Great listener, very vulnerable and honest while also showing wisdom when he speaks and flexible with his schedule to accommodate his clients.
I have worked with David for a little over a month now. He is very pleasant and understanding to talk with. I like being able to discuss things and have opinions from him outside the box from what I'm used to. It's very refreshing. I would highly recommend David to others.
I appreciate Dave’s sense of humor , his transparency, and his sensitivity to my perspective as it relates to my progress and my concerns.
He is great and helping us very much!
He is thoughtful and helpful. David provides different solutions to issues that are healthy and helpful. He is understanding and does not judge regardless of the situation.
It is my first time going to therapy. At first I was unsure of this new experience but with Dr. Kurfman I’ve literally understood that seeking help is easy as long as you have the right person to guide you through this new stage in your life.
David is attentive and easy to talk to. He recommends coping mechanisms that have been helpful for me
David's perspective and insights are authentic, substantive, and practical. I always enjoy speaking with him, and look forward to applying the ideas to my daily life.
I have seen many therapists in the past, but David has probably helped me the most. I have learned to look for solutions rather than simply observe things that needed to be changed and not doing anything to change them.
Great guy. Great listener.
David is so chill. He's grounded and down to earth and understanding of the human condition, because he is one. Highly recommend
David is extremely professional and knowledgeable. He was also very personable with me and helped me greatly.
So thankful!
he is always there when i need him.
I've only had one session with David but I feel really good about having been paired with him already. I can tell he really wants to learn as much as he can so that he can help as much as he can. I'd recommend him to more patients than any one therapist could ever have time for.
David Kurfman helped me understand more clearly the degree to which my inattentiveness was interfering in my daily life. I didn’t feel alone anymore! Someone understood me thanks to David.
One of a best listener in the market. He himself have personal experience make him a person full of empathy. His expertise is very manifested. But most importantly he is a real and sincere counselor. He wants every patient to get well. Thank you David for your support these days.
David is great. I have to take more time to speak with him to make a more thorough review though.
David is respectful and attentive. He’s generous with his time and offers more time slots if you ask. He offered constructive feedback and is overall great to talk too.
He is literally a true angel. He has been my therapist since February, and every since I had him I have been getting better in my life. I mean I have start doing things (slowly) that is out my comfort zone. He gives good advice, and give you another perspective on how to handle or look at your situation. I highly recommend him.
Supportive , good listener , have unique way in helping me to understand myself
I appreciate that David is attentive, but also reflective. He's thoughtful in his replies, and shares stories of his own that add depth and perspectives that I hadn't necessarily considered. He's cheerful, but calm and easy to talk to. And he asks the right questions when you're not sure where to begin. A+
Excellent listening and thinks outside the typical box
