Life By Design Therapy

  Hello! My name is Leah Kaplan and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.   I am queer identified and am particularly attuned to working with clients in the LGBTQIA+ community.  I support clients in strengthening the interpersonal connections in their lives as well as their relationship to the natural world in order to bring balance into their lives. I utilize mindfulness based practices , ecotherapy, expressive arts therapy and a collaborative, person centered approach to support you in moving through life’s challenges and centering your joy. https://www.lifebydesigntherapy.com/leah-kaplan-lcsw

  Making friends as an adult is much more complicated than it was in elementary school. For example, in adulthood, it is normal not to see or talk to your friends every day -- in some cases, you may go weeks to months without contacting a close friend, and that's okay! Unfortunately, any of us are not taught the skills we need to successfully build and navigate adult friendships. These include the communication skills to initiate friendships and work through grievances. By strengthening these skills, you can become better prepared to deal with the complex landscape of adult friendships. Contact Life by Design Therapy today to learn how we can help you develop the communication skills you need to be an amazing friend as an adult! https://www.lifebydesigntherapy.com/teen-therapy

  Relationships are so fundamental to a healthy life that we go to great lengths to make them work. You may compromise too much, or too little. You may have certain beliefs or habits that are so difficult to break free from and restrict you from having a strong bond with your partner. When relationships turn for the worst there is plenty of pain, confusion, fear, heartache and uncertainty. However, when relationships encounter these hurdles, a professional therapist can help you examine the relationship closely and determine how to proceed. https://www.lifebydesigntherapy.com/leah-kaplan-lcsw
