Caitlin McHale

Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern, and EMDR Trained

My "Why"

I believe there is always more to learn. Curiosity and a desire for growth keep us moving forward. In my work, I’m driven by the endless opportunities to learn from and with others. Helping clients find new insights and make meaningful changes inspires me daily.

Three Fun Facts About Me

  1. I play the bass guitar and love the rhythm it brings to my life.
  2. If I weren’t a counselor, I’d be chasing the skies as a pilot.
  3. I’m a pro at building the perfect campfire – a skill that comes in handy during my outdoor adventures!

My Favorite Books

  1. The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah
  2. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
  3. The In-Between by Hadley Vlahos

My Hobbies

I thrive in the great outdoors! Whether it’s hiking, camping, backpacking, or kayaking, I’m always ready to connect with nature and recharge my spirit.

My Journey as a Therapist

I earned my B.S. in Psychology from Stetson University in 2020, and my passion for helping others led me to pursue my M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, which I completed in 2024, also at Stetson. During my studies, I interned at SMA Healthcare, where I trained in EMDR therapy.

My work is focused on helping clients navigate trauma, and I’m especially interested in working with individuals experiencing positive symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions tied to their trauma. I’m committed to ongoing learning and growth as I continue this meaningful work.

My Favorite Superhero

Spiderman – He’s a little awkward and doesn’t always have it all together, but his good heart and commitment to doing the right thing make him a hero in every sense.

“Courage is the root of change – and change is what we’re chemically designed to do.” – Bonnie Garmu
