HELPING NAVIGATE ADOLESCENCE
& EMERGING ADULTHOOD
Welcome!
I help teens and young adults find their strengths and grow through whatever challenges come their way.
Being a teen or young adult in today’s world can be overwhelming, even paralyzing.
Perhaps your teen is struggling to manage their emotions, is arguing more, is isolating in their room more, or has even expressed feelings of depression and anxiety. Have you noticed it’s become harder for your teen to balance the responsibilities of school, extracurriculars, and fitting in?
Or are you a twenty-something, feeling the claustrophobic pressure to have your life “together”? Going to college (or choosing not to), figuring out your career, dating in a hookup culture, or feeling like everyone on your socials has it so much more figured out than you do? Being a young adult is a strange time when it can feel like you’re playing a game, and no one has explained the rules.
Did something happen that you can’t get past? Has your worst nightmare been realized and you have experienced a traumatic event, or you're the parent of a teen that has been through a traumatic event? Once someone has experienced a trauma, it can feel as if their body has been hijacked. I help teen and young adult trauma survivors heal and take back the control that was taken from them.
No matter the challenges you or your teen face right now, I am ready to meet those challenges head on. Let’s work together to identify the issues, find healthier ways of coping, and recognize the strengths that will help you and your teen to heal.
ABOUT
Caitlin McGuinness
Hi there, I’m Caitlin!
I am a licensed mental health counselor, certified clinical trauma professional, and master level accelerated resolution therapist. One thing that sets me apart from other therapists is that I specialize in ages 12-30, because the issues teens and young adults face deserve specialized attention.
I feel honored to hold space for my clients where they get to let their walls down and be vulnerable, knowing they will not be judged. Through that vulnerability, I help my clients see where they are absolutely doing enough and support them as they find areas to grow.
Therapy with me will include laughter, probably some relatable memes, possibly some tears, and definitely work. My clients and I work together to identify the issues and find solutions. If you are ready to put in the work to change your future, I am ready to do it with you!
