Caitlin LAC

Hello & Welcome! My name is Caitlin Ferrara, and I am a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC), under the clinical supervision of Stephanie Dowd, LPC. I have spent a number of years supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families in their mental health journeys. Alongside my private practice work, I also serve as an Assistant Director at a nonprofit organization, where I help individuals facing severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI) as well as in a clinical setting supporting those in need of crisis intervention.

I am passionate about creating a safe space where people feel genuinely cared for, understood, and supported. I work primarily with children, adolescents, and adults, experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, self-worth challenges, relationship struggles, and difficult life transitions. I believe healing begins when we feel safe enough to explore our emotions, understand our patterns, and allow ourselves to be seen without judgment.

In our work together, my focus is on meeting you exactly where you are. I use a warm, person-centered, compassionate and holistic approach, drawing from CBT, DBT, trauma-focused interventions like EMDR, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. These tools help us deepen your understanding of what you are experiencing, build healthier coping strategies, and support meaningful, lasting change.

My hope is that, through our work together, you will feel grounded, empowered, and less alone as we navigate your healing journey together. I am here to offer compassion, curiosity, and guidance as you begin to uncover your strengths, grow your resilience, achieve clarity and move toward creating meaningful, sustainable change.  I would be honored to support you as you explore your story, rediscover your strengths, and move toward a more grounded and fulfilling life.
