New to Grow
Hi! I am so happy that you have made the decision to take this time for yourself and your needs. I'm Caitlin, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both Colorado and Florida. I began my practice career as a crisis clinician in Emergency Services serving populations from children & adolescents to the geriatric community; since then, I have moved on to private practice working with clients in Virginia, Florida, Missouri, and am currently living and practicing in Colorado! Things that fill my cup: hiking with my family, running, staying strong, my two unofficial therapy dogs (who will often make appearances in session), reading, coloring, and visiting a different playground every weekend trying to please a toddler. I am passionate and supportive of equality in human rights and resources, diversity, acceptance, and finding and speaking your own individual truth.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
I approach every therapeutic relationship as just that... a relationship. It is important to me that there is a positive connection between myself and the client, so our first few sessions will be spent getting to know one another and determine if I can align with what you are looking for at the time. I strive to create a welcoming, accepting, and casual atmosphere and encourage dialogue with clients on feedback in sessions! Therapy is the place to talk about all relationships, including ours!
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Rapport and relationship is the foundation to creating an environment where an individual can truly identify what they are working toward. My focus is on developing trust in relationship and self in order to confidently make decisions.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal client is someone who has the desire to take one step forward.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My practice is founded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy through identifying and challenging unhelpful thought patterns through developing practical healthy skills to address unhelpful thoughts. In practice, this can look like: collaborative goal setting, skill building, and practical exercises to make the connection between thoughts, feelings and behavior apply to real life scenarios.
