In life the most important aspect is the relationship we have with ourselves and others. As a mental health therapist I believe healing happens through connection, understanding, and feeling truly heard. I help individuals navigate the effects of trauma, strengthen relationships, and develop the tools needed to create lasting emotional well being in a warm, nonjudgmental environment.

Therapist

Hi, I’m Scotty! It is my goal to join with you and guide both of us in growth through the power of the therapeutic relationship. Although I describe my therapeutic approach as eclectic, I lean heavily toward Relational-Cultural Theory. I believe that people grow in relationships that exhibit mutual empathy and empowerment. I have particular interest in the effects of trauma on an individual’s mental and physical health and methods in which those effects can be mitigated.

Solution-Focused Therapy is an integral part of my practice as well. SFT is a solution-focused, future-oriented form of therapy that focuses on your strengths as a way to reach your goals. In this paradigm, you, the client, are viewed as the expert on your life.

I have worked in the field of mental health for nearly 30 years. My clients have come from all age groups, educational levels, and socioeconomic statuses. I have worked with clients in community mental health, prison, long-term care, and hospice. I hold a Masters of Arts in Psychology from Marshall University and a Masters in Social Work from the University of New England.

In my free time, I enjoy reading post-apocalyptic and dystopian fiction. When I’m not reading, I spend hours enjoying nature in the Appalachian Mountains along with my Great Pyrenees, Ghost.

Hi, I’m Caitlin. I live in the beautiful Appalachian mountains of eastern Kentucky with my family.

I have enjoyed being an independently licensed clinical social worker for several years and am honored you are checking out my profile!

It is always so impressive to me when people have the courage to reach out for help. Life can be overwhelming, confusing, or heavier than it should and you’re not alone. You might be dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, or identity-related challenges, and finding it hard to make sense of what you’re feeling or how to move forward. Many of the people I work with are used to pushing through and handling things on their own, but eventually feel emotionally drained, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, identity exploration, relationship stress, life transitions, grief and loss, ADHD, OCD, and women’s issues. Together, we’ll create space to slow things down, better understand your experiences, and begin building a clearer, more grounded path forward that feels aligned with who you are and what you need.

Frequently asked questions

Therapy Chair

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Lexington

Finding OCD therapists in Lexington starts with looking for the right training, not just a matching specialty label. OCD care often focuses on obsessions, compulsions, intrusive thoughts, checking behaviors, contamination concerns, and reassurance-seeking patterns. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use to support people living with OCD, and therapists vary in their training with it. As you compare options, look for ERP treatment near me, OCD experience, or exposure and response prevention in therapist bios so you can identify someone whose listed approach matches your needs.

In a mid-sized city like Lexington, your options may include therapists with local offices, virtual appointments, or both. Virtual care can expand your search beyond the closest office while still helping you stay connected to care that fits your schedule. When reviewing therapists, look beyond whether they mention OCD. A therapist who lists OCD as a focus area may have different training than one who clearly describes ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or structured OCD therapy. Therapist bios can also show how sessions are structured, whether a free phone consultation is offered, and whether the therapist is accepting new patients.

Therapy in Lexington can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, see insurance information for your specific plan, and view real appointment availability. You can compare bios, see estimated costs after entering your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
