Our approach combines active engagement with deep listening to help clients achieve emotional health and personal growth through evidence-based techniques and personalized treatment plans.

This relational approach examines internal conflicts and interpersonal dynamics through a living therapeutic relationship, integrating modern object relations and self-psychology principles for lasting personal transformation.

Structured, goal-oriented treatment for anxiety, depression, and related conditions. This practical approach teaches skills for modifying unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through techniques like cognitive restructuring, exposure therapy, and mindfulness practices to build resilience and reduce distress.

Report
I saw Dr. Kaplan to deal with some difficulties I was
experiencing after a divorce. I found him really smart,
but most importantly, really empathic; he listened well
and really "got" me. He has lots of experience with kids
and families so he also guided me as I negotiated a
challenging situation with my kids. He's warm, kind,
funny and sharp. If you're looking for a therapist I
highly recommend him.
