Getting to know Caitlin McGowan

I seek to provide my clients with an open, supportive, and non-judgmental modality of therapy that encourages and promotes their authenticity and individuation. Utilizing a simple, yet holistic approach to therapy, which seems to be extremely effective, is to stay where my clients lead and/or need me to go until a solid foundation of trust and commitment are established.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Wit, creativity, resources, and support are waiting for you!!

What is your typical process for working with clients?

As someone with over 26 years of experience with all facets of mental health, as well as substance abuse, I am both well-versed and well-rounded therapeutically. I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or their family. Initially, I would like to hear about what motivated you to reach out, and work from there. We may delve deeply into the issues at hand, or go at a slower pace to create a trusting, working relationship. Ultimately, formulating a plan together for you to successfully address both long and short-term goals. Most of my clients see a gradual improvement within their first month and sustained improvement thereafter.
