Meet Our Therapists
Kaitlin Barbati, LCSW
Kaitlin@gratefulheartcounseling.com
Specialties: I specialize in helping adults (18+) who are ready to receive support for experiences with trauma or PTSD. I have many years of experience working with those who have experienced domestic violence, sexual assault or abuse, depressive disorders, and anxiety, as well as adults who experienced child abuse and neglect.
I offer in-person and virtual counseling options for your convenience.
Approaches: I am trained in the highly sought-after modalities of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I use these therapeutic modalities along with other evidence-based practices, such as CBT and DBT, to tailor my approach based on each client's unique needs and strengths. I place a significant focus on building a safe therapeutic relationship, and from that strong foundation we are able to walk together on your healing journey toward empowerment, self-acceptance, and achieving your goals.
Experience: I have gained experience in several roles throughout my career, including those in residential and nonresidential services for survivors of violence and abuse, an outpatient psychiatric hospital, school-based therapy, and private practice. Now I work with adults navigating life's struggles and learning how to embrace their most authentic selves.
