Introduction

I have been working with Great Falls Public schools for 10 years now. My first year with the district began my path to finding my passion when I started teaching 4th grade. I taught for 4 years and then moved on to school counseling for three years. While getting my master's in education counseling, I also became a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I decided to move over to our district's therapy team in 2023, and I love the work that I do. Supporting others as they learn to support themselves in order to thrive has been so fulfilling. I spend my time off with my husband and our four daughters. I enjoy playing volleyball and pickleball and spending time at my cabin and kayaking.

Introduction

Caitlin understands the importance of connecting with her clients first and foremost. With a
degree in Marriage and Family therapy, Caitlin’s training also involved examining all the different
systems and contexts impacting a person’s life. Learning to make shifts at different levels can
be very helpful when working with youth.
Although new to the school system, Caitlin has had experience working with youth at an
emergency kid’s shelter as well as a Job Coach for teenagers with disabilities. She also
continues to run her own private practice seeing primarily individuals and couples.
Making a big move from a small town of 800 in Missouri to Big Sky Country earlier this year was
not easy, however the town of Great Falls has been so welcoming to her and a beautiful place to
land. Caitlin is looking forward to all the outdoor adventures including hiking, skiing, camping,
walking her puppy Shiloh, and seeing all the incredible landscape Montana has to offer. On the
inevitable snowy, relaxing days, Caitlin will likely be curled up with a book, sewing project,
talking with family and friends, or cooking something yummy.

Grief Group

A grief group is offered annually for students.

We offer a 6-week grief support group for students in coordination with our local hospital’s grief program. This group is designed to provide a safe, supportive space for students who have experienced the loss of a loved one. Led by trained facilitators, the group will help students process their grief, learn healthy coping strategies, and connect with peers who may be going through similar experiences. Sessions will take place during the school day, and participation will be handled with care and confidentiality. If you believe your student could benefit from this support, or if you have any questions about the program, please reach out to your student's counselor.
