I utilize a holistic approach that includes somatic, emotional, and cognitive processing and integration of traumatic and developmental experiences for healing trauma and attachment wounds. I completed my postdoctoral fellowship in clinical psychology at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University and the Rhode Island Hospital Partial Hospitalization Program, where I specialized in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, a third generation approach of behavioral and cognitive therapy. Post graduation, I began focusing on the profoundly intelligent, self-corrective, healing mechanisms that the body holds, by utilizing Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy (PSIP), a therapeutic modality combining a somatic, autonomic nervous system-based treatment protocol with legal psychedelic plant-based medicines.

All these years treating, teaching, and mentoring taught me that our relationships are the most important things in life and the most crucial factor for happiness. My work is to help you build the relationships you want with the ones you love!

Kevin Biondolillo, Psy.D

Clinical Psychologist

I’m Kevin or Dr. B if you prefer something more formal. My goal as a therapist is to help individuals and couples achieve their goals and to live their best lives. I am a strong proponent in the belief that the therapeutic relationship is key to effective therapy. As such, I work collaboratively with individuals and couples to establish attainable goals that fosters meaningful change. I have worked extensively with college students and LGBTQIA+ persons in university counseling centers for four years. 

I also integrate several evidenced-based therapy techniques depending on the individual and their presenting concerns. This includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal processing therapy, emotionally-focused couples therapy, and narrative theory among other approaches.

I hold a doctorate in clinical psychology (PsyD) which I obtained from Wheaton College. As part of my growing expertise, I also completed my dissertation on the narrative development of sexual minority, emerging adults in Christian higher education.
