“After scheduling sessions with other therapists and not achieving the comfort and confidence I was looking for, I found Caroline and the experience has been excellent. She is an excellent listener, and seems to be extremely well versed in my issues and has given me valuable tools and advise towards my recovery and improved well being. I would recommend her services highly. Whereas I had dreaded therapy sessions in the past, now that I have found Caroline, I actually look forward to them.”

Getting to know Caroline Sarafin

Hi there, I'm Caroline! I work with adults navigating life transitions, managing chronic illness, and coping with everyday stressors. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can feel supported and understood. My focus With eight years of experience in an outpatient cancer center, I bring a deep understanding of illness, grief, and the life changes that often follow. My approach I take a collaborative approach and strongly believe in meeting individuals where they are. I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy with strength-based approaches, working with each person to build resilience and find the most supportive path forward. My communication style I strive to communicate with honesty, openness, and compassion, creating a safe space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported. I listen deeply and offer compassionate feedback that honors each client's experience. My journey to mental healthcare My experience working in a cancer center for eight years highlighted how impactful individual therapy can be. I was especially drawn to the process of helping people explore meaning during difficult times, which led me to seek roles centered on this work. My goals for you We will work together to identify your goals and explore how you'd like to create meaningful changes in your life moving forward. I prioritize meeting clients where they are, providing guidance and support tailored to their unique needs and life experiences. Our first session Beginning therapy can feel overwhelming for some. My role is to make the process smoother—offering you guidance and compassionate support as you begin this journey. Our first session is an opportunity to get to know each other and discuss what you hope to gain from therapy.
