Kaytlin Sirounian
Clinical Social Worker/Therapist -
Do you find yourself questioning your values, your path in life, or the answer to the question, “Who am I?” During an identity crisis, you may feel lost, confused, and unsure of yourself. An identity crisis involving gender identity can be especially difficult, as it can involve questioning your fundamental sense of self. If you are struggling to cope with an identity crisis, seeking help is a positive first step. Therapy can give you the space to ask and process questions you may be struggling with, identify your strengths and values, do self-esteem work, and process what may have happened that led to the identity crisis itself. I can help you navigate self-exploration, gender expression, growth, confidence, and resilience.
My clients describe me as an authentic, interactive, and compassionate listener who is able to create a safe and supportive environment for them. I am committed to helping you understand and accept yourself, and to develop healthy and fulfilling relationships. I am a licensed therapist with over 10 years of experience working with adults of all backgrounds who are struggling with issues related to identity, self-esteem, and relationships. My approach to therapy involves a variety of evidence-based practices including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).
I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, advocate for racial justice/equity, and support people in recovery. I am passionate about working with transgender and nonbinary adults seeking a space for emotional healing and coping where they feel safe, celebrated, and supported. My specialties include working with adults who have experienced trauma, chronic stress, depression, or anxiety. If you are interested in therapy, please reach out to me. I would be happy to discuss your needs and goals and see if I am a good fit for you.
