Roberta Caplan, Ph.D.
Psychotherapy ,Couple and Group Psychotherapy
Adults, Young Adults (17+), Couples
I am experienced at helping my clients as they face loss and grief, depression, anxiety, illness, and life transitions (such as managing the transition to college, mid-life issues, aging and aging parents). These challenges call for an ally in understanding and developing new coping strategies. I work with individuals and also with couples(married or unmarried) to improve their relationships or reduce the negative impact of endings, to cope with the challenges for new parents, to manage the challenges of emerging adulthood for college students and young adults, and to productively address stresses of aging and caring for aging family members. I offer careful listening and active attention to your concerns when facing both the unexpected and inevitable stresses of life. I work with un-partnered adults who lack the connections that they value.
In addition to my psychotherapy practice, I am an experienced clinical supervisor and offer case consultation and mentoring to mental health clinicians.
