Hi, my name is Kaitlyn Cuaderno, MSW, and I am a mental health professional committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care to adults living with serious mental illness. My clinical background includes individual and group therapy, crisis intervention, and trauma-informed case management. I’ve provided care in both community mental health and school-based settings, supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds. My work is grounded in approaches such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I support individuals navigating mental health challenges, with a growing focus on psychosis, mood disorders, trauma, and emotional dysregulation. I believe in building therapeutic relationships rooted in safety, collaboration, and deep respect for each person's lived experience. I am especially passionate about holistic care—integrating emotional growth with practices that support physical wellness and balance. I believe nature, movement, and creativity are powerful allies in the recovery process. Outside of my professional work, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my dogs, and engaging in practices that nourish both body and mind.
