Who We Are

Two Clinicians. Two Different Rooms.

Transcend is a small practice on purpose. Two experienced clinicians, deliberately different in style — because the person ready to be challenged and the person who needs room to breathe are rarely the same person on the same day.

Daniel Rubin, LMHC, LPC
Daniel Rubin, LMHC, LPC
Founder
For the person who's done pretending it's fine.

Daniel works with men and women navigating substance and behavioral addictions — alcohol, gambling, pornography, sex — and the pressure underneath them. His style is direct and structured: sessions move somewhere every time, and you'll be challenged, respectfully.

He's also been on the other side of it. Daniel practiced as a licensed therapist while fighting his own addiction, lost the career and license he'd built, and rebuilt both. He talks about it publicly — on podcasts, on stage, and to 36,000+ on TikTok — because the people he treats need to know recovery is survivable from someone who's actually survived it.

Beyond the therapy room, Daniel founded Transcend Wellness, a men's-only Intensive Outpatient Program in South Florida, and facilitates both of Transcend's weekly process groups.

Catherine Lovern, LCSW
Co-Founder & Chief Clinical Officer
For the work that needs room to breathe.

Catherine works with individuals and couples carrying trauma, disconnection, and the exhaustion of holding everything together for everyone else. Her sessions are calm, contained, and deliberately unhurried — depth without pressure, and nothing rushed before you're ready.

Within the practice's addiction work, Catherine holds the other half of recovery: what the addiction did to the relationship. She leads Transcend's full-day Couples Intensives — six private, uninterrupted hours for couples rebuilding trust after the secret is out — and works individually with partners navigating their own side of it.

As Chief Clinical Officer, Catherine supervises the practice's clinical work and standards.

Choosing

Which of Us Should You See?

There's no wrong door — and we'll redirect you honestly if the other clinician is the better fit. But as a starting point:

Start with Daniel if…
  • The problem is the drinking, the using, the gambling, the porn — and you're ready to name it
  • You want direct, structured work that will challenge you
  • You're considering a group or wondering about the IOP
  • You want a clinician who's personally been through recovery
Start with Catherine if…
  • The marriage or relationship is what's breaking — or what you're trying to save
  • You're the partner who found out, and you need your own support
  • Trauma is underneath it, and EMDR may be part of the work
  • You need a slower, quieter pace to open this up at all

Still Not Sure? That's Normal.

Tell us what's going on in a private consultation, and we'll tell you honestly who and what fits — even if the answer is neither of us.
