My goal is to extend my ability to panel with insurance companies so we can build your caseload and satisfy the required supervised hours for licensure. My mission is to guide you in the industry, train you, provide a stipend for your continuing education requirements, support you as you prepare to take your boards for full licensure, and celebrate you as you turn your Caretta Counseling caseload into your own private practice. I will provide quality weekly supervision to ensure positive client outcomes and strong therapeutic alliances. See below for more benefits!
We provide therapy via Telehealth to individual adults in our LGBTQIA2S+ community as well as BDSM/kink, ethical non-monogamy, polyamorous communities, and allies. We specialize in supporting clients with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, relationship-building, gender, sexuality, life transitions, codependence, substance use/chemical dependency, and grief and loss. We will work with clients through a social justice lens incorporating your chosen specific modality and therapeutic specialties along with eclectic, psychoanalytic, feminist, queer-friendly, person-centered, interpersonal, and strength-based therapies.
