Hello! If you are reading this, that means you have decided to begin therapy. I may be biased, but I think that is fantastic! Whether this is your very first time or you are trying again, I want you to take a moment to feel proud of yourself for choosing to prioritize yourself, your needs, and your mental health by beginning this journey. I believe that therapy is truly a work of heart for both me as the therapist, but also you as the client. Therapy is a very personal thing that requires you to put in the work, which doesn't mean it is always going to be easy, but I believe that it is worth it because you are worth it.
My name is Kaitlyn and I am an LCSW with about 8 years experience in the field of mental health and social work. I received my Bachelor's degree with Psychology with minors in Spanish and Sociology from Rowan University in 2018. I then began working as a mental health counselor at the CASTLE Program, a partial hospitalization program (PHP) for children with behavioral and mental health challenges. As I continued the early stages of my career, I chose to go to graduate school and pursue my Master's of Social Work (MSW) from Rutgers University in their Intensive Weekend Program. I worked full time, went to school technically part-time, but year-round, and also completed my internship at CASTLE as well. I graduated with my MSW in 2023 and obtained my social work license (LSW) that same year.
I have worked in various levels of care from PHP down to Outpatient working with individuals and families in a wide range of ages and presenting problems including generalized anxiety, relationship stress/trauma, self-esteem, family dynamics and communication challenges within relationships, and transitions from incarceration, to name a few!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
