My vision is to help people who have been silenced to regain their authentic voice.

I partner with my clients to help them access their authentic self and express that self in meaningful and loving ways to the people in thier lives.

Something solid is gained by participating in group discussions of clinical cases.

Most of our clients have so much going on in their lives, between their current life challenges and the past traumas they carry. It can be difficult to know how to help them in their efforts for integration and wholeness.

My clinical supervision group is a great place to talk about our clients' situations, gain insight about what is going on for them and learn how to assist them in moving their lives forward.

This group meets weekly on Tuesdays, from 12-1, on Zoom. Both LSWs and LCSWs are members of the group and offer each other feedback and support.
(Participating LSWs will get their clinical hours for licensure.)
The fee is $50/week.

Brief bio: I'm a graduate of Bryn Mawr School of Social Work and Social Research and have a post master's in marriage and family therapy. I'm an attachment oriented, psychodynamic psychotherapist with a deep understanding of the intergenerational transmission of trauma.

This past week has been international water week. As protesters said at Standing Rock, Water is Life. Those simple words say it all.

I was fortunate to join Meghan Dwyer for a water ceremony at the convergence of two streams- a place I’ve swam and watched the water ripples shimmer against the rocks. It was so good to be with others who also honor the water. Even walking there in silence was healing, ceremonial. I felt calmed by quiet energy of the trees.
May we all celebrate the gifts of the earth.

For over thirty years, I stayed in a marriage where I, anyway, was unhappy much of the time.
How was that possible in this day and age? Read more at https://www.claudialistens.com/why-i-endured-a-marriage-for-over-30-years/

Is figuring out what to do about your relationship often on your mind?
Relationships are about the hardest things on earth. They are full of ups and downs, hopes and disappointment, even despair. Deciding what to do about that complex mix of good and bad can occupy a lot of energy and time.
Would you like to join a group where talking about that complex mix of emotions is what the group is about?
On October 18, th I’m starting a group called “Can this Relationship Be Saved? To Leave or To Stay?”
The group will meet weekly on Zoom, from 7 to 8:30 pm.
If you would like more information about this group, please contact me, Claudia Apfelbaum, LCSW, at claudialistens@gmail.com

Can this Relationship be Saved? To Leave or to Stay?
A group for women who are contemplating divorce is starting on October 18th.
The idea of leaving one’s partner is a complex and often terrifying experience. It’s an emotional roller coaster.
Being in a group, you can explore all that is going on for you. No feeling is too big or too small to be talked about.
Come and feel strengthened by this supportive group!

Listening

I was raised by two parents who survived the Holocaust as children.

As much as they loved me, their trauma prevented them from being good listeners, which lead me to feel unsure of myself and lack self-esteem. My life journey brought me to heal from the impact of their emotional unavailability, and to devote my life to help others heal from their own trauma, emptiness, and pain.

I offer my intelligence, intuition, and knowledge for your own re-emergence. ~Claudia
