Therapists in Crest Hill, IL

Hi, and thanks for viewing my profile. My name is Josh Kaplan, I’m a compassionate and experienced therapist with a mission to help individuals overcome Anxiety Disorders, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and Depression. With over a decade of experience specializing in these areas, I have developed a deep understanding of these conditions and their profound impact on one's life. Whether you are dealing with the recurrent cycle of OCD, endless thoughts of anxiety, or the deep sadness of depression, I'm here to guide you through your recovery journey.

The process of therapy & self-evaluation is often a difficult endeavor. I seek to ensure that your path to healing includes an emphasis on your strengths, being compassionate to yourself, incorporating self-care goals, practicing mindfulness with general well-being of both the mind & body. I've worked in the mental health field since undergrad & have over 3,330 supervised hours working at a higher level of care. I support emerging adults & adults of diverse populations that live in FL, IL, IN, OK with varying levels of Depression, Anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder(OCD), Trauma/PTSD & struggle with life transition & challenges.

Are you or your family struggling? My practice focuses on children between the ages of 8-18 with behavioral issues, OCD, anxiety, depression, history of trauma, or LGBTQ issues. As well as helping parents with positive parenting strategies. I believe that you help the child by strengthening the family. I also work individually with adults and their struggles with anxiety, depression, trauma, and LGBTQ issues. I graduated Magna Cum Laude with my BA and MS in child psychology and education, and I am currently working on my doctorate at the American International College.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults who are comfortable with a one on one approach to counseling. Working with children in therapy always involves working with the parents. As with adolescents, providing them with a sense of privacy and trust is something I try to develop from the very beginning. For adults, privacy, confidentiality, and respect occur in a atmosphere of warmth and patience. If you are dealing with Attention Deficit Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, Panic attacks, Bipolar Disorder, or Post Traumatic Stress, I am sure you will find the relief you are looking for at my office.

Does life feel overwhelming for you or perhaps your child at the moment? I have worked with clients of all ages for the past ten years and I also specialize in working with children and family units as a whole. I provide individual and family counseling to an array of populations, including those with anxiety, depression, ADHD, histories of physical, sexual or emotional abuse, post traumatic stress disorder, or negative coping skills. I work with my clients through a Cognitive Behavioral Approach. When working with children or adolescents I use creative approaches to therapy, including art, sand play and play therapy techniques.

As your therapist, I am dedicated to work together to assist and guide you on a self-discovery journey to feeling better and learning effective ways of coping with diverse situations. My experience working in the mental health field has given me insight on the resilience we all carry within us and we sometimes just need that different perspective to shed the light at the end of the tunnel. My goal as your therapist is to provide a safe space for healing.
