Welcome,
Caitlin is an experienced psychotherapist in Richmond Virginia Specializing Intensive Dynamic Therapy
Therapy for people who care deeply, think intensely, and carry more than they show
Deep therapy for a more authentic you
Beneath anxiety, self-doubt, and old defenses lies your natural vitality: the truth of who you are when you’re not managing, pleasing, or performing. In this work, we bring awareness to the emotional barriers that have long kept you safe but now keep you stuck. As these patterns soften, energy that was bound in tension and constraint is freed up for living. This is active, engaged, therapy that requires the effort of the team — both client and therapist working together with the goal of connecting you to your core sense of self.
Move beyond insight
Instead of purely working with your thoughts we will focus on the experience of your core emotions and insights combined. Many times we enter into therapy after periods of thinking, analyzing, intellectualizing, and rationalizing around our feelings. More of this in therapy will not move the needle.
Mind + Body Connection
Do you become activated with anxiety, numb, or explosive when your feelings are triggered ? Often this is happening outside of our awareness. Working with the body and building capacity to have your feelings with more clarity and connection with your core self will be central to our work together.
Active and Goal Oriented
This is not blank slate therapy. While each treatment is tailored specifically to the client, overall you can expect an active and engaged therapist. We will be co-creating this process together and setting goals. Connection with your desired outcomes is very important when facing hard things.
