Caroline Kaplan (she/her)

I have worked in various teaching roles in the education world for 8 years as a 3rd grade teacher, 1st grade teacher, and a reading intervention teacher. During my role as a reading intervention teacher, I noticed how imperative children’s mental health was, not only for their education, but overall well-being. I then pursued my Master's in School Counseling and became a school counselor. I advocated for students through communication with administration, teachers, and families.

As a school counselor, I had the opportunity to work with many parents helping them understand age appropriate behaviors of tweens/teens, development, and parenting skills. I was also the 504 coordinator. As a school counselor, I helped teens with learning disorders such as dyslexia and dysgraphia. I also helped students with self-esteem, anxiety, ADHD, depression, autism, grief, PTSD, and social skills.

I enjoy working with neurodivergence-especially ADHD. I have ADHD myself, and understand how confusing and challenging it can feel to navigate the world as a neurodivergent adult, child, or teen.

I meet you where you are at-emotionally and mentally. Therapy is your experience--I am honored to be there for part of your journey.

EMDR therapy stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It's an evidence-based psychotherapy approach that helps people heal from the distressing effects of traumatic memories and other life experiences. EMDR relieves some of the physical sensations in your body that might occur when recalling a certain memory or feeling.

Expressive Arts Therapy can be used with all ages. Sometimes emotions cannot be expressed through words. Drawing, painting, acting, dancing, singing, and moving can all aid the therapeutic process for healing and recovery. Expressive Arts Therapy helps clients heal and recover from emotions that cannot be expressed verbally.

I meet my clients where they are at. One-on-one counseling can relieve stress and provide a safe space to process life transitions and events. It can also relieve symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD. I recognize how hard it can be to take the first step to invest in yourself. One-on-one counseling can help you better understand yourself, increase self-compassion, or strengthen your inner voice. I am here to be a part of your personal journey.
