Caroline Grim
Hello and welcome. First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your courage to take the first step in selecting a therapist. The thought of sharing intimate thoughts, struggles, and personal experiences can be overwhelming and frightening. I hope to help you feel confident that you have come to the right place to express your needs and work on feeling better. I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT) from California. I have over 12 years experience in providing services to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, trauma, and other challenges. I have had the pleasure of working in various settings. For about seven years, I worked at a community mental health agency treating children, adolescents, adults, and families with a variety of needs especially those who have experienced trauma. I have found that each individual comes with their unique story and background.
My background working with CBT interventions along with Trauma Focused CBT has developed my strengths in understanding reactions to traumas vary in individuals.
My first experience using telehealth was during the pandemic. With the increase of mental health needs, I discovered the importance of being able to provide services through the telehealth platform. It inspired me to continue to reach those clients who desire telehealth for various reasons. Life can be busy with schedules and finding time for therapy is not always easy. Telehealth can make therapy a little easier.
First session
I hope to find out about your needs, your story and your goals during our first session. Additionally, my hope is that you feel confident working together to meet your treatment goals. You know you best and can provide the best snapshot of your life. I want you to feel comfortable as we build the therapeutic relationship and connection to work on what's important to you.
Strengths
My strengths are meeting my clients where they are and not assuming I know their story. My background working with CBT interventions along with Trauma Focused CBT has developed my strengths in understanding reactions to traumas vary in individuals. I have also learned depression, anxiety, grief, and other situations are not a one size fits all. I have many life experiences that help me connect and relate with clients.
Ideal clients
My services currently consists of individual virtual therapy for those who are looking to reduce symptoms including anxiety, depression, trauma, or loss/grief and improve quality of life as well as relationships. Client's goals are established collaboratively with realistic expectations to start feeling better and improve functioning. If you are ready for change and dedicated to putting in the work, let's work together to get you there.
