Thrive Therapy Maryland

Caitlyn Shannon, LGPC

Hi there! My name is Caitlyn and I am so happy you are here! My goal as a therapist is to help you through challenging times and hopefully increase those exciting and cheerful moments. I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and safe environment tailored individually for all my clients and their families to make therapy not only beneficial but enjoyable. My goal is to help you live a happier, more fulfilled life, however that may look to you!

I have a passion for helping children ages 7 and up navigate the challenges that come with adolescence and growing up in an ever-changing world. It is of utmost importance to me that your child trusts me not just as a therapist, but as someone who genuinely cares about them and their well being. I believe progress happens when the whole family system feels supported which its why I make it a priority to collaborate with parents and caregivers as well. As a former athlete myself, I have a love for working with children and teens balancing the stress of athletic performance on top of navigating everyday life.

In addition to working with children and families, I provide individual therapy for adults navigating the many challenges of parenthood and life. Whether you're adjusting to a new stage of parenting, managing stress, balancing multiple roles, or working through anxiety, self-esteem concerns, relationship challenges, or life transitions, I offer a supportive space where you can care for yourself while caring for those you love.

I take an integrative approach to therapy, pulling techniques from various therapeutic modalities to ensure each client is getting the best possible care that is individually tailored to their needs. The modalities I most often utilize are person-centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Taking the first steps into your therapeutic journey is something to be proud of in itself! If you feel like we would be a good fit, please reach out. I look forward to meeting with you!
