Ian Caughlan, LMSW (he/him) 

I work best with introspective adolescents and adults who feel stuck. I can help you sort through the chaos in your head, clarify the life you want to live, and take concrete steps to build it. My approach is collaborative and flexible. We’ll work together to help you articulate your needs, then I can provide practical tools for immediate relief and help you gain insight to support lasting change. I’m affirming of all genders, sexualities, and relationship structures. The main issues I help folks with are:

Trauma / PTSD: Whether you’re afraid to drive again after a car accident or you’re learning to love yourself after years of abuse, I’d like to help you soothe your hyper-sensitized system and leave the past where it belongs. You cannot undo what happened, but you can have a different life now. I am fully trained in Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. I have some training in Religious Trauma and am developing my expertise in this area.

Anxiety: If everything seems so high-stakes that you’re terrified of messing up, if you can’t stop worrying about all of the awful things in the world, I’d like to help you face those fears and find peace. I have some training in OCD and am developing my expertise in this area.

Life Transitions, Relationship Stress, and other Existential Concerns: If you’re having a mid-life crisis (or a quarter-life crisis, or a start-of-high-school crisis), if you’re struggling to connect with the important people in your life or to build new relationships, if you don’t know what you want or even who you are right now, I’d like to help you find meaning, purpose, and a sense of self.
