Meet Kaitlyn
A lighthouse as clients navigate life’s storms.
Kaitlyn Runyon
LIMHP, LCSW Therapist
When you meet Kaitlyn, you’ll quickly feel the calm she brings to her clients, providing them with what she needed as a child. Being the daughter of a teen mom, a child of divorce, and navigating blended families, Kaitlyn’s early life was complicated at times. Through the ups and downs, Kaitlyn found refuge in a few key relationships: her mom, her grandparents, and her long-time therapist - who inspired her to become a therapist herself. Now, Kaitlyn uses her early life experiences to help others.
Kaitlyn continues to have strong relationships with her mother and grandparents, but today most of her attention is focused at home with her husband and three young children. When she isn’t working, she can be found browsing Target, playing at the park with her kids, or watching Friends for the umpteenth time. Historically, Kaitlyn was a distance runner, reveling in the sense of accomplishment after achieving her fitness goals. These days, this love for challenging herself looks more like making it through the dinner-time transition each night and trying new techniques in the therapy room.
As a clinician, Kaitlyn brings calm, connection, and creativity to her clients. Kaitlyn focuses on strengths, meeting clients just as they are, no matter how they show up to session. “I love angry clients,” Kaitlyn says, “Wherever my client is at, I can feel the energy. I can dial back and be calm or amp it up to work it out.” Using a variety of techniques, Kaitlyn engages clients in depth-orientated healing, skills building, and expressive arts interventions.
Kaitlyn's clients come to rest in her consistent presence, healing in the safety and trust of their relationship. Whether she’s working with a withdrawing child, a struggling teenager, or a new mother trying to break the cycle for her kids, Kaitlyn becomes an anchor and a lighthouse as her clients navigate life’s storms.
