Caitlan McHenry

I am an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor. I received my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2022 from Grand Canyon University. I have also been certified as a Substance Use Disorder Counselor since 2018, and one of my greatest passions is helping individuals who are experiencing mental health or addiction-related concerns establish a sense of balance and find peace in their lives.

I have experience working in a diverse range of settings, including partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient treatment programs for individuals in need of medical detoxication and recovery support, jails to help facilitate the residential treatment placement process for incarcerated individuals, probation departments, and outpatient county mental health clinics for court mandated individuals, and private practice for individuals encountering a variety of mental health-related concerns.

My current therapeutic focus is on adult individuals, couples, and family systems who are experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, and relationship distress. I use trauma-informed modalities, including cognitive behavioral (CBT), solution-focused (SFBT), attached-based (Bowen Family Systems), emotion-focused (EFT), and somatic experiencing (SE) while also incorporating techniques that address patterns of codependence, including problematic communication and boundary issues and teach nervous system regulation through the practice of meditation and mindfulness.

We are inherently worthy and deserve health, happiness, and healing. We are experts in our own experiences and view clients through a cultural, holistic, and humanistic lens. Feelings of safety, security, transparency, and trust are essential elements for constructing healthy change. I use a trauma-informed therapeutic approach that is client-centered, collaborative, integrative, and non-judgmental. Throughout therapy, individuals can safely navigate how to reconnect with themselves or loved ones, challenge and replace negative beliefs, develop a healthy sense of self, learn coping strategies to manage psychological discomfort and heal emotional pain, gain insight and self-awareness into their experiences, process through traumatic events, and find meaning and purpose in their lives.
