Richard Caplan, LICSW	Last Updated: 3/25/2013

Licensed clinical social worker and licensed alcohol and drug counselor.

For the past 35 years I have treated individuals, couples and families with a variety of issues. While my specialty is in addictive disorders (including codependency and adult child issues) my practice also includes people with a variety of psychiatric and personal problems. I use a variety of modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy, transactional analysis and inner child work and would be more then happy to meet with you to see if I could be helpful.

I realize I do not accept many insurances so I am happy to discuss what a reasonable payment would be for you.
