A lifelong learner and self-described perpetual optimist, Dr. Kline is deeply committed to supporting others in making meaningful changes in their lives. He is inspired by the complexities of human behavior and the transformative power of progress.

Dr. Kline’s therapeutic approach is pragmatic and eclectic, drawing primarily from a cognitive behavioral framework with an Adlerian perspective. He views therapy as an evolving and dynamic process, not a rigid, linear one. His approach encourages clients to live life fully, apply the lessons learned in therapy, and return to the therapeutic space as needed. This flexible and practical methodology empowers clients to grow and adapt, fostering long-term success.
Dr. Kline’s passion for psychology is rooted in his curiosity about people and his drive to understand the "why" behind their actions. He finds immense satisfaction in witnessing clients achieve real, transformative change. This sense of fulfillment, combined with the field’s emphasis on continuous learning, keeps Dr. Kline motivated and deeply engaged in his work.
Born in New Jersey and raised in Northeast Ohio, Dr. Kline credits his early involvement in sports, community activities, church, and academics with shaping his professional interests. Leadership roles in these areas taught him the importance of understanding what matters to others and helped cultivate his ability to connect meaningfully with people.
Dr. Kline finds immense purpose in helping clients navigate life’s challenges and believes in the transformative potential of a trusted therapeutic relationship. With a warm, thoughtful, and practical approach, he is dedicated to helping clients achieve meaningful progress on their journey to wellness.
