Kaitlyn Rippel, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Hello! I am an LCSW, particularly experienced in working with neurodivergence and trauma in children and adolescents. I also treat adults in areas such as grief, loss, attachment wounds, anxiety, depression, and life and identity transitions. My therapeutic approach is warm and direct with emphasis on growing your understanding of your thoughts, strengths, and desires. I believe healing is relational and contextual, affirming your unique identities. My background as a school social worker gives me insight into collaborating with schools to meet your child's educational and developmental needs. With all of my clients, my priority is to be a safe space and a trusted relationship. I utilize a blend of play therapy, distress tolerance skills, mind-body integration, and more to tailor therapy to your unique goals and needs. I encourage children, adolescents, and adults alike to bring their interests and strengths into therapy. If you are looking for a place to begin working on mental health and/or behavioral health challenges for yourself or your child, I'd love to get to know you.
