Rachel Kaplan

Rachel Kaplan, a dedicated clinical social worker and therapist with over thirty years of experience, understands that emotional suffering—whether stemming from depression, anxiety, grief, or betrayal—often remains unseen. Many individuals may feel an urgent need for support, but the weight of shame and fear of exposure can create barriers to seeking help. Throughout her practice, Rachel has developed a compassionate approach to assist clients in confronting their deepest fears while facilitating a sense of safety in the therapeutic environment. She believes that the desire for change can often bring about an apprehension of losing one's sense of self. By honestly addressing loss and limitations, her clients can make empowered choices about their lives. Recognizing that internal struggles frequently revolve around relationships, Rachel focuses on fostering a transformative therapy relationship that allows individuals to see themselves in a new light. Through increased self-compassion, clients can improve their interactions in areas that previously felt challenging. In her practice, Rachel combines insights from her work with others and learns from each unique story, even those that remain unspoken. By cultivating an atmosphere of safety and empathy, she helps her clients embrace self-acceptance, which paradoxically opens the door to profound change in their lives.
