Welcome to the office of Dr. Kristen Kaploun

Dr. Kaploun and associates offer a variety of assessment and therapy services for adults and seniors seeking help for difficulties ranging from support with everyday problems to more significant cognitive, emotional and other mental health conditions.

The primary form of treatment is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which is an evidence-based form of treatment that is structured, short-term, goal-directed, and problem-focused. We have particular experience in treating prenatal and postpartum anxiety (i.e., perinatal anxiety) and offer a specialized treatment program, the Perinatal Anxiety Treatment Program (PAT Program) for new and expectant mothers struggling with anxiety.

We also offer specialized treatment for working with senior and geriatric populations in the community who may be struggling with the major life changes that come with advancing age. This would include the loss of a partner, stress brought on by retirement, or moving into residential living, memory loss, and changes to emotional well being (such as anxiety, depression, or OCD).
