Therapists in Phoenix, AZ

Maybe coming to therapy is an easy, intuitive next step for you. You know and trust yourself to find just the right counselor. You know what you need from therapy to support your relationships, career/life satisfaction, self-care needs, or trauma recovery. I trust your inner wisdom and can’t wait to collaborate with you. Or, maybe you’re more tentative about this whole “therapy” thing. Life may have taught you that trust is precious–that reaching out for support could be dangerous. You may have even gotten the message not to believe in or advocate for yourself. Well, this might be a surprise: I also trust *your* inner wisdom.

Therapy can be daunting, but it is a journey of self-discovery. You deserve to know yourself, and thus, have a nurturing relationship with yourself. "Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”- رومی (Persian Poet, Rumi). As human beings, we heal through connecting emotionally with other human beings. It’s not necessarily the talking that heals us, but the being heard. We are fellow travelers in the same ocean, going through the same storm in our own boats. It is our shared humanity that connects us all.

Hi, I'm Caitlin! As your therapist, I'm here to help you find the answers to your deepest questions; like finding the hidden key inside of you that lets the light into those locked away places that can cause anxiety, depression, traumatic stress, relationship issues, & low self-value.

The understanding of our the most authentic aspects of ourselves is at the core of successful psychotherapy. I believe that much of what disrupts us takes place at a level that we cannot access. A secure and non-judgmental relationship between the therapist and the patient in the present moment offers powerful opportunities for such growth to take place. Uncovering how the past has impacted the present is central to successful therapy. Being in private practice, my schedule is flexible and allows me to schedule patients in the morning, evening, and possibly the weekends.

My practice is faith-informed and integrates Christian counseling principles with evidence-based practices. I serve individuals from faith and non-faith backgrounds who are seeking personal and spiritual growth, particularly those aiming to improve their lives and relationships.

I enjoy working with people to reach solutions toward a more emotionally balanced and fulfilling life. It can be difficult to acknowledge that an area in your life feels overwhelming. Perhaps it is a feeling of being stuck and wanting more. I work with individuals to identify what patterns in thinking, feeling or behavior have become problematic. It is my privilege to work with clients in discovering what they really want for their life.

My goal as a therapist is to best support you in your journey as well as to support you in being/becoming your best self and creating your best life. Through this process we may encounter many feelings and emotions as well as behaviors that are best addressed in a safe therapeutic environment. My intention is to create that space and navigate the process together and provide tools and resources for you to do the same in the future for yourself.

I view therapy as a space for you, the client to be unequivocally yourself while recognizing that there are so many internal and interpersonal factors alongside systems in place that may contribute to the pain, anxiety, and discomfort one feels. You are the most important person in your own life, and once you start to care for yourself in healing ways, this can be extended to others who you care for and love. I believe that it is important to walk patiently with every individual and I also believe that it is important to discuss how cultural beliefs and societal roles may influence one’s perception and experiences.

Now accepting new clients in-person and virtually! The time to heal is now. - Trauma is not just the big, obvious events that happen to us. It is also the small, but significant, experiences that teach us about who we are, where we belong, and what we deserve. Therapy with me often involves digging into the past and those negative beliefs that continue to show up. We may use EMDR and other experiential techniques process what happened to you or around you. It becomes easier to make changes once those old beliefs have been challenged, let go, and replaced with more adaptive ways of thinking.
