Caitriona Dolan, LCSW
About Me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years experience working in clinical and medical settings. My passion is helping everyday people face everyday issues. Anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, chronic pain/health issues, relationship strain, vocational stress, life transitions. I consider myself a realistic optimist. I think life can be great, but it can also be complicated, difficult, and overwhelming. Ultimately, I believe that these difficult times are necessary because they help us become strong, resilient, and better people. I want to help you cope with your issues, so you can live the life you want to live.
Why Therapy?
Anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, chronic pain/health issues, relationship strain, vocational stress, life transitions are just a few issues that we struggle with on a daily basis. We often try to minimize or ignore these issues, but they can grow beyond our control. They begin to affect our mood, health, relationships, and daily function. It can be hard to recognize when we need help, and even more difficult to ask for it. Therapy can help you overcome these issues, so you can be the person you want to be.
Getting Started
Starting therapy can be awkward, stressful, and overwhelming. It's scary to trust a stranger with your private thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I am here to help you face your struggles in an open, non-judgmental, and safe environment. I understand that busy schedules can be make therapy difficult, so I offer flexible hours and in-person or virtual appointments. I do not want money to stop people from getting help, so I accept various insurance plans and offer sliding scale costs, if needed. Please contact me to discuss your specific needs.
