Julia Kaplan, LMHC, CASAC

Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor

Welcome to my practice! I am a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC). I received my education from Adelphi University and completed my graduate degree with a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling.

My post graduate trajectory as a mental health counselor began at a community-based substance abuse treatment center. In this setting, I provided treatment to a diverse clientele of children, families, individuals, and the mandated population. This challenging experience shaped me into a devoted and compassionate clinician who understands that emotion must be expressed through healthy behaviors and not avoided through maladaptive habits.

I am formally trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) , Psychodynamic Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I employ a strength-based and client-centered approach when working with clients. This means I support my clients and let their needs direct our therapy.

I treat children and their parents, adolescents, and adults. I offer unique parental coaching catered to the needs of your child and I counsel those who endure trauma, struggle with alcohol and substance abuse, anxiety, and depression. Many of the people I see are diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Panic and Anxiety Disorders, or depression and mood disorders. I collaborate with other providers involved in the treatment of my clients which allows for continuity of care and shared goals. I also coach and counsel my clients to practice effective communication skills and implement them in their relationships. I offer in-person and virtual appointments.
