Therapy for Adults Navigating Life's Most Challenging Transitions

Compassionate, collaborative psychotherapy for adults experiencing anxiety, infertility, maternal mental health challenges, chronic illness, relationship issues, and major life transitions.

Virtual therapy for clients in Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey.

Perhaps you are unsure of what is bothering you, but are aware that something isn’t working for you anymore. You don’t need to know exactly what is wrong or how to fix it before you reach out, we can figure that out together.

Rachel Kaplan Therapy is a specialized psychotherapy practice for adults navigating anxiety, health-related challenges, and significant life transitions, with particular strengths in women's mental health, including fertility, maternal mental health, and hereditary cancer risk.

  • Anxiety

    Maybe you are tired of worrying all the time, feeling tension in your body, or feeling stuck in cycles of thinking about the same things. Therapy can help you to better tolerate uncertainty, understand your underlying fears, and process how your past experiences impact you in the present.

  • Chronic Illness

    Coping with chronic illness can feel isolating, anxiety-provoking, and debilitating. Together we will process what it has been like for you to live with chronic illness and develop coping strategies to help you feel more in control of your life.

  • Life Transitions

    Adulthood is a time of constant transition and change. Therapy can help you to process how you are feeling about transitions and losses in your life, feel more confident in your decision making, and learn to better adjust to change.

  • Relationship and Family Dynamics

    Navigating both past and current relationships can be difficult. Together we will explore how you participate in relationships, the roles you tend to fill, and help you learn to more effectively communicate, prioritize your needs, and set healthy boundaries.

  • Maternal Mental Health

    Whether you are navigating ambivalence about having children, experiencing infertility or pregnancy loss, coping with anxiety during pregnancy, or adjusting to the emotional challenges of motherhood and postpartum life, therapy can provide a space to process your experiences and feel more supported.

  • Living with a BRCA Mutation

    Living with a BRCA diagnosis is an incredibly unique and often misunderstood experience. You may not be sick or have a cancer diagnosis, yet still find yourself navigating the emotional weight of knowing you carry an increased risk of developing cancer. Living with this knowledge can also change the way you think about your body, your future, your family, and your sense of safety. You may find yourself feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or alone, even when everything is medically okay.

My compassionate, direct, and collaborative style will help you to feel supported, challenged, and understood.

Please reach out to schedule a complimentary 15 minute video consultation, so we can decide together if we would be a good fit for each other.

It can feel overwhelming to search for a therapist who understands what you are going through, makes you feel comfortable, and knows how to help.
