Virtual & in-person • Ashland, KY


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.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Lexington, KY

Finding postpartum therapists in Lexington starts with looking for someone whose training matches what you want support with. Postpartum concerns can include depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you review therapists, look for listed experience with perinatal mental health, maternal mental health, or postpartum counseling. A PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in perinatal mental health care.

Lexington offers local therapy options, and virtual care can make the search more flexible for new parents managing changing schedules, infant care, and physical recovery. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions near home, work, or a child care route, or virtual appointments that fit more easily into your day. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, therapy approach, and whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they describe their style, postpartum experience, and what sessions may look like.

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 estimate before you book. Headway helps you find postpartum therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, check insurance fit, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
