Consultation calls will last around 15 minutes. You can plan on me calling you at the number you provided in the contact us form at the time that we decided was best.

During this call, I will invite you to tell me a little about what is bringing you to therapy, and then I will tell you a little about me and how I work as a therapist. I make sure to include time after this for any questions you might have for me. After this, you and I can discuss goodness of fit, if this feels like the right vibe, and when you’d like to begin therapy.

And for couples, please plan for all parties to be on the consultation call! We want to make sure this is a good fit for everyone!

I recognize therapy is a huge financial expense. I do have a few reduced fee spots, however they are limited and based on the rest of my caseload. If you are interested in being on the waitlist for a reduced fee spot, please contact us to inquire about the reduced fee intake form.

Unfortunately, I do not. At the moment, it is not sustainable for me financially and it is too limiting to what I hope to provide (most insurance companies will only cover X amount of sessions, and I prioritize long-term work that is outside of the traditional medical model). Additionally, I try not to use pathologizing language that is encouraged through diagnoses codes.

With that being said, I do provide superbills! These are like receipts/invoices that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement. Reimbursements vary based on insurance provider and your plan. It’s best to call ahead to understand if you’re covered through your insurance plan! Also, know that these reimbursements take time to get to you, so you could be in therapy for ~6 months until you start getting reimbursed.

Please let me know if you are planning on using superbills to assist with making therapy accessible, so that we can discuss together what fills right to put on your medical record regarding diagnoses.

Due to my belief in the relational therapy model, I really value consistency in the therapeutic relationship. Consistency is what allows for trust, safety, and helps to ensure that therapy sessions are not only “catch up” times.

So, I really encourage being able to meet weekly for at least the first six months to assist with the building of this relationship. This doesn’t mean that after six months we’re magically going to transition to a different cadence. It just means that it may be a time to have a conversation together about how treatment is going and what is needed.

As with most things involving treatment, it’s important to have those conversations in an ongoing manner. I recognize that weekly therapy sessions is not always available for financial reasons. If this is the case, please bring it up in the intake call so that we can discuss what is the most supportive plan for you.

Yes, for couples/partnership therapy, I offer both 60 minute and 90 minute sessions. I find that it is during our consultation call that we typically are able to figure out how long sessions should be— this could be based on the issues at hand, or on how long it typically takes to get comfortable in the therapeutic space.

For those interested in 60 minute sessions, I highly recommend meeting weekly. 60 minutes goes by fast when there is more than one client in the room! For 90 minute sessions, it is easier to meet biweekly, if that is what you’re interested in.

As always, it’s best to be in conversation with your therapist about what is working well in treatment and then trying to implement accordingly.

Yes, I do! I am in an office located in Arcadia, CA on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Those sessions can be either in person or virtual.

I am more than comfortable with meeting virtually (I use the platform Spruce to ensure confidentiality and HIPPA compliant care). I recognize telehealth options assist those who are unable to come in person for a variety of reasons, such as proximity, need for childcare, disability, if you’re immuno-compromised, and more.

If you are able to come in person, I encourage that you do, as I appreciate using clues from body language to support wholistic interventions.

As with most things pertaining to treatment, it’s best to consider all the factors and be in conversation with your therapist as to what is best for you.

In person clients can plan to meet at the office located in Arcadia, CA. For address and location information, please click here.

And unfortunately, this office location does not allow for dogs or other animals to accompany your therapy sessions. If you have a certified emotional support animal, please let Caitlin know and we can discuss this.

I use Spruce which is an all-in-one, HIPPA-secure messaging app. When you become a client of mine, I will send you an invite link which will then direct you to download the Spruce app.

There, all of the communication between therapist and client will be streamlined into one thread— all text messages, phone calls, voicemails, and video call history will be seen in one place.

If we are meeting virtually through a telehealth session, we will use Spruce as the platform to ensure HIPPA-secure communication. If you are needing assistance on how to best set up for video calls using Spruce (available on their app on your phone or on your desktop), please check out this guide on their site.

I did go to Fuller from 2018-2020 and for me, it was a great experience and I am still in contact with many of my peers and a few professors. For my personal journey, it was important for me to go to a school that had a religious element while still allowing me to figure out how to pursue this career of therapy without being a “Christian therapist”, just more so a therapist who happened to be Christian. I feel like I achieved that there.

With that being said, I am adamantly against the seminary’s policies and stances on sexual standards. I am extremely pro LGBT2SQIA+ folks’ rights and believe that queer folks have always been here and always will be.

For many, transphobia, homophobia, biphobia, and hatred of queer folks is a huge element of their religious trauma. It’s important for me to name and acknowledge that I do not align myself with Fuller’s stances and support my peers who have raised awareness through petitions and education.

No, I never have and never will. And honestly, if you did, especially in 2024, I don’t think that we will be a good therapeutic fit.
