About Nathan
A place to be honest, and understood
I’m Nathan Rubin, a licensed clinical social worker. I work with adults and adolescents (12+) who want to understand the patterns affecting their relationships and daily lives.
My approach is relational and depth-oriented. Together, we look beyond immediate coping strategies to understand what keeps familiar difficulties in place.
