Sherie Kaplan, LCSW
There are times in life that are challenging. In fact, we all encounter difficult life events, worry about our circumstances and relationships and feel the effects of daily stressors or even larger set-backs. Often, despite one's best attempt to cope, symptoms of anxiety or depression can still appear. Sometimes it requires the help of a licensed professional to address long or short-term conflicts that present a hinderance to optimal functioning and happiness

Psychotherapy is an interpersonal process between therapist and client that encourages each person to grow toward greater health and wholeness. The process invites a search for understanding, resolution and meaning to conflicts that are not easily resolved alone.  By talking with a therapist in a safe and confidential setting over time, one can hope for long-lasting change.  Treatment goals and session frequency are usually established following an assessment phase after taking into consideration each person's presenting concerns, unique history, personality, and stated goals.

The types of concerns people bring to therapy vary. Some of the issues that I can address in my practice are family of origin concerns, depression and other mood disorders, anxiety, identity issues, relationship/ interpersonal conflict, adjustment and life transition issues, sexual orientation, grief and loss, eating disorders and body image issues, general sexual concerns, self-expression and communication issues, marital problems, personality disorders and addictive patterns/ symptoms.
