couples-therapist Robert Kaphan

Robert Kaphan, MA, LAMFT

A friend of mine used to say, "Nothing is easy." But after experiencing my own healing journey, I would change that to say, "Nothing worthwhile is easy." I can honestly say that there aren't many shortcuts on the healing journey but having a trusted counselor in your corner to cheer you on and, at times, challenge you, makes the healing journey more bearable and worthwhile. You may be experiencing problems in your relationships or difficulties managing life. Counseling can help you see things from a different perspective and help you to see yourself as you truly are. I would like to cheer you on and challenge you on your healing journey. I will listen to your story: your past, your present and your goals for the future and, together, we will forge a way of healing from the past to a better future. I can't promise that the journey will be easy but it will be worth it. Are you up for the challenge? I know you are!
