About Us

Rose Caplan, Intern


Rose believes that therapy involves working collaboratively with clients to bring out their innate self-knowledge and ability to heal. When people are given room to be curious about themselves and their stories, they can find the power to shape their lives. She enjoys working with clients from diverse backgrounds, exploring the ways that gender, race, sexuality, ethnic background, and other identity intersections impact how we interact with the world. She has specific interest in providing neurodivergent- and LGBTQIA+ -affirming care.
