Caitlin Wise

Caitlin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who earned her Master’s Degree from Palm Beach Atlantic University. She is also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, an Autism Spectrum Disorder Specialist, and an Anxiety-Informed Professional. Caitlin’s training has ranged from working in private practices, residential treatment centers, and working as a case manager with human trafficking survivors.

She believes humans are wired for connection, yet knows that many people feel out of place or alone when surrounded by others. She has seen where individuals who have gone through complex trauma, or who have been diagnosed with Autism and/or ADHD, have been told that something is wrong with them – that they are defective in some way. These critical messages and shame begin to wreck havoc in their lives and infiltrate the very core of how they see themselves, often leading the person to wear a mask and become extremely hard on themselves. However, shame does not have to get the final word. Out of her own story comes her goal as a therapist: to empower the voices of those who have been silenced, to help those who believe they do not have a future find hope, to restore a sense of humanity to those who have been treated as objects, and to show them that their past does not have to define their future.

Her areas of speciality include working with survivors of complex trauma or abuse, as well as anyone who deals with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, or unhealthy relational patterns. She also specializes in working with teens and adults diagnosed with Autism and/or ADHD, especially adults who were recently diagnosed and are now seeing their lives through an entirely different lens. In session, she works with individuals to change unhelpful thought patterns, identify and remove critical internal messages, develop healthy relationships, learn how to communicate feelings assertively, and uncover who they actually are (below the mask that is often worn every day). Caitlin does individual and group therapy with teens, young adults, and adults.

When she is not in session, Caitlin enjoys drinking coffee and spending time with her cats, Wednesday and Abby. Caitlin also loves to travel – both for fun and for humanitarian trips around the world.
