The Mind/Body Connection
Hello, I am Dr Connie Kaplan, a Licensed Psychologists in New York State. My practice is in New York City, Union Square area.
A major focus of my clinical practice is on Coping Skills Development and the development of mindfulness of the mind/body connection. I specialize in trauma, anger management, anxiety/panic disorders, relationship issues, eating disorders, and depression, as well as pain and stress management, conflict resolution, and work-related problems.
I am also a business psychologist and consult to corporations, enhancing leadership and team development. This gives me additional expertise to help my clinical clients with their work-related issues. I also work with individuals who prefer work-related coaching outside of the workplace environment.
In therapy, I use a multi-faceted approach, tailored to meet the specific needs of the individual to be better able to cope with stressors, both internal and external, and to interact with and better understand the world around them. This includes cognitive behavioral therapy approaches, EMDR/DNMS, and hypnotherapy.
Because of the strong relationship between mind and body -- the impact of each on the other -- the mind/body connection is integrated into all aspects of interventions.
The field of psychology is always growing and developing and offers the same opportunity to its professionals. I am continually learning, staying current on research and taking advantage of relevant workshops and seminars that provide better ways to bring the latest technology to my clients, and to enhance my own personal growth and development.
Please take a few minutes to read over my website. If you think I can help, I look forward to discussing your personal goals with you.
