David Kaplan, MD, LCSW-C

David Kaplan is a Maryland-licensed clinician with 15 years of professional experience who combines medical and social work training to support people facing stress, anxiety, grief, loss, depression, and life transitions. He holds an MD, which indicates medical training, and an LCSW-C, which denotes a licensed clinical social worker credential in Maryland, and he draws on that background to help clients navigate difficult moments.

He approaches care from the perspective that each person is the expert on their own story and brings strengths that can be used to address current challenges. He takes time to learn about each person’s needs and collaborates on practical approaches aimed at improving day-to-day functioning and overall quality of life.

David works with individuals coping with bereavement, major life changes, and ongoing emotional concerns, offering steady support as clients build skills for managing symptoms and adapting to new circumstances. He recognizes that beginning therapy can require considerable courage and affirms that taking that first step is an important part of the process.
