Caitlin Finnell, MFT

Specialties

As a Marriage and Family psychotherapist, I seek to help my clients find their way through the hardships that life can bring. I believe in the healing power of the therapeutic relationship as well as each individual having the power to heal themselves. I believe in a strength-​based, solution-​focused approach to therapy. I work with my clients focusing both on overcoming their current circumstances and developing tools and strategies that they can use moving forward in their lives. Bringing these factors together along with my extensive training, my clients have found that beginning on a path to healing does not have to be impossible or done alone.

My areas of focus are not limited to but include the following:

Family therapy, Children, teens and youth, Adoption and foster youth, LGBT issues, Eating Disorders, Anxiety and Depression
