Caitlin’s services include individual play therapy; family therapy; sibling therapy; parent-infant therapy; executive functioning sessions; career assessments; social skills groups; and workshops. Caitlin has a particular interest in working with children, ages 5 and above, as well as young adults. Play therapy is a therapeutic approach that uses play as a medium for communication and self-expression. It fosters emotional expression and problem solving; enhances communication; and promotes resilience. Caitlin practices from an eclectic approach, adopting multiple strategies or techniques based on the unique needs of her clients.
