I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology at Adelphi University’s Derner Institute for Advanced Psychological Studies and my Master of Social Work degree at Adelphi University’s School of Social Work.
I specialize in treating trauma and stress related disorders (i.e., acute stress disorder, PTSD, adjustment disorders), anxiety, and depressive disorders.
Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, mood swings, or high levels of stress? What about rocky family dynamics, behavioral issues, loss of a loved one, boundaries, or communication? Are you a first responder or relative of, needing a safe, understanding space?

Hello! My name is Cathy Randolph and I am a Board-Certified Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I developed my passion for mental health during my journey working with veterans in residential PTSD and Substance abuse programs. My specialties include, but are not limited to treating and managing PTSD, Substance abuse, ADD/ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and adjustment disorder. I am also a Medicinal Marijuana clinician.
My name is Caitlin Clouse. Licensed Clinical Social Worker is just one of the many titles I carry. First and foremost I am a mom, wife and daughter. Through my own lived experiences—including an estranged relationship with a parent during childhood, as well as experiencing secure attachment within a strong and supportive family system—I witnessed firsthand the impact that difficult and unhealthy relationships can have on an individual’s emotional regulation and overall well-being. I also experienced how supportive relationships and co-regulation within a family system can foster resilience, confidence, and motivation.
These experiences is what led to my decision to attend Adelphi's MSW program. I have always had a passion to work with adolescents to help them feel understood and validated.
I began my career providing in-home support to children and families experiencing crisis. Through this work, I developed a strong foundation in supporting individuals and families through challenging circumstances and transitions. Through my practice in building positive relationships with adolescents, I have been able to assist them in organizing their thoughts and communicating them more effectively to their family and friends. I have been able to see first hand how treating them with dignity and respect allows them to grow their perspectives and become better listeners, which enhanced the family system as whole. No matter the current dynamics of one's family, we all come from one, which is why utilizing Structural Family Therapy and ACT has been helpful in my practice with not just families but individuals as well. Whether you're a parent, daughter, son, brother or sister, I'm here to help.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Stony Brook
Searching for therapists in Stony Brook starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. As you compare options for Stony Brook therapy or Long Island therapy, look for a therapist whose listed specialties and approach match what you want to work on. Bios can help you see whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, and what a first session may look like.
Stony Brook is a smaller market, so nearby in-person options may depend on office location, schedule, and availability across the surrounding Long Island area. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while keeping your search focused on therapists licensed in New York. When reviewing profiles, consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. A therapist’s bio can also show how they describe their communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns like family therapy on Long Island or Stony Brook counseling.
Therapy in Stony Brook can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront. You can review bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you find a therapist who fits your needs.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
