I work alongside adults to empower them to effectively manage and address stressors, trauma, depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns. I strive to build a strong relationship based on trust and effective communication. It can be challenging to seek help, but therapy works!

My experiences as a therapist and a veteran allow me the unique ability to provide both a safe space and a forum to process underlying beliefs and behaviors that keep us from living our lives to the fullest. I employ a strength-based, trauma-informed approach when engaging with clients.

I work alongside my clients to empower them to take control of their lives wherever they are. As a therapist and a veteran, I work to meet my clients’ needs by empowering them to be the voice of their own change. We will work together to identify realistic goals in an environment free of guilt, fear, or shame.

Hi there! My name is Kaitlyn and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I am a Fort Wayne native and graduated from the University of Saint Francis in 2015 with a Bachelor’s in Social Work. In 2017 I graduated from Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis, Fort Wayne Cohort, with a Master in Social Work. I have worked in various local non-profits over the past 10 years.

I strive to provide an open, safe, authentic, and LGBTQ+ affirming space for individuals to process life challenges, experiences, stressors, etc. I use a strengths-based, client-centered approach incorporating multiple evidenced-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Narrative Therapy.

I primarily work with adults. I have experience working with individuals impacted by cancer, chronic/ life-limiting illnesses, anticipatory grief, grief/loss, relationship concerns, substance abuse, fertility concerns, anxiety, depression, self-esteem/self-image/self-identity concerns, trauma, and more.

It would be an honor and privilege to walk alongside you. Thank you for taking the first step in caring for your mental/emotional health!

Life can be overwhelming and sometimes we need someone to come alongside us as we walk through life’s challenges. As a mental health therapist, I feel my primary function is working with clients to assist them in finding inner peace and to help them work through troubling situations. I also believe it is important to treat clients holistically in order to help them find a good life balance.

I am trained in CBT, MI, TFCBT as well as other psychological theories. I work with a host of different issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, substance abuse, and improving relationships. I feel I do my best in working with teenagers and adults. I look forward to walking alongside those who would like to make a change or work through a difficult challenge.

If you are dealing with life struggles please allow me come alongside you so that we may work together to find a better way to manage life’s challenges.

I am a trauma therapist committed to helping individuals navigate through the most difficult and challenging times of their lives. I am passionate about helping people learn to change old thinking patterns and belief systems so they may gain confidence to build solid and lasting relationships with themselves and others. My work focuses on acute and chronic trauma, depression, and anxiety in adults. Life is challenging, but if we can learn to better understand ourselves, we can begin the process of healing. Allow me to help you, help yourself!
