I consider myself the Dolly Parton of mental wellness: all humans are welcome, being clear is kind, and, like Dolly, sometimes we all need a little help navigating life from 9-to-5. I provide therapy in Ohio and Kentucky, and I also offer holistic wellness coaching and integrative psychedelic support to help you explore growth from multiple angles. In our sessions, I tailor the process to fit you—addressing experiences, patterns, or distortions that might leave your cup of ambition dry. With a transparent, solution-focused approach, we’ll work together to create meaningful, lasting change that goes beyond our 50 minutes.

As a therapist and coach I work with diverse clients, including those navigating queer identities and alternative healing methods. My approach is straightforward and infused with a touch of humor, creating a space where authenticity and meaningful progress are the goals.

Hi, I’m Caitlin! I offer flexible scheduling (evenings & weekends) and affordable Christian virtual counseling for children-adults. I’m also working toward EMDR certification. I’m glad you’re here! Reaching out for support takes courage, and you’ve already taken an important first step.

I am a dual-credentialed Clinical Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) and an Independent Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) for over 8 years. I have experience working with children and teens (along with supporting parents), young adults, people with disabilities, and women.

I believe in caring for the whole person through mind, body, and spirit. I also offer Christian counseling upon request, allowing faith and the Holy Spirit to guide our time together.

It would be an honor to walk alongside you. Wherever you are in your journey, you don’t have to go through it alone.

Warmly, Caitlin :)
