Caitlin W. Clevenger, PMH-C, PhD

I view mental health struggles as a part of the human struggle.  You don't have to be suffering to benefit from therapy, although many of us are before we get there.

• I help individuals through pregnancy, postpartum, and their continued parenthood journey (for all parents). Having a child is a life-changing event. It can feel like you are a completely different person in a completely different life. I am here to help ground you and integrate this new experience into your life.

• Therapists, health professionals, and academics are extremely prone to burn out. I help these individuals turn down the volume on their critical voices, better cope with stressors, and enjoy life more.  ​

• I also help individuals heal from past trauma and body image concerns that rob them of their ability to be present and enjoy life.

• I am committed to providing affirming care to the LGBTQ+ community. I enjoy helping people get in touch with parts of their identity that have been hidden for various reasons (lack of acceptance or opportunity to explore this side of yourself). I assist people who are "coming out" later in life and navigating changes that come with that. I assist transgender and nonbinary individuals with referrals to gender-affirming medical care.

• I tailor evidence-based treatments to fit your unique goals. I aim to help people identify their patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and use their own strengths and resources to interrupt patterns that are causing distress.
   

I utilize evidence-based therapies (backed by scientific data). This includes modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapies. Each person's treatment will look different, but these therapies guide my approach. I also offer psychodynamic therapy or depth work.
