Treatment Options
Individual
Individual therapy is a process through which clients work one-on-one with the counselor. This is done in a safe, caring, and confidential environment to explore your feelings, beliefs, and behaviors. In these 45 to 60 minute sessions (depending upon insurance coverage) we will work through challenging or influential memories, identify aspects of life that you would like to change, set personal goals, and work toward desired change.
Couples
Couples counseling is a process through which a couple works with the counselor to identify specific areas of conflict and/or aspects of their relationship they would like to change. This is done through the Gottman Method. Couples counseling will not be done if domestic violence is occurring. Caitlin has completed Gottman level two and can now assist couples with trauma and affairs. In these sessions we will address any immediate and pressing problems, develop strategies for protecting and enhancing the long-term health and happiness of the relationship, and set goals for the relationship. Please be aware that many insurance policies do not cover couples counseling and self pay may be a better option.
Personal Philosophy
Caitlin's personal philosophy is to counsel individuals from a person centered approach. What this means is an emphasis on the individual become their most authentic self- focusing on their concerns and goals. From here Caitlin is able to implement techniques of cognitive behavioral therapy and solution focused therapy to help work through conflicts and achieve collaborative goals.
