About Kaitlin (she/her)

co-founder of Kindman & Co.

I co-founded Kindman & Co. to be a different kind of therapy practice. We center relationships and celebrate human messiness, but we also focus on making the world a more inclusive and just place. My purpose is to help our clients come to believe that you are not alone, you belong, AND you inspire—you have the power to bring about change. I work with my clients to feel more connected, so that they take actions that improve their relationships and the world.

I help couples, intimate partners, therapists, helpers, and leaders go from overwhelmed, un(der)supported, or inauthentic to feeling seen, fulfilled, and inspired. I work with folx who feel big feelings, care deeply for helping others but struggle to not absorb their emotions, and want to better assert themselves & set boundaries. I am dedicated to supporting other therapists, leaders, business owners, and healers, and understand how these fields invite insecurity and imposter syndrome, feelings of loneliness and lack of support, and boundary challenges around bringing work home. I also love helping women begin to harness the power of their voice and discover and embrace their authentic, fiercely alive selves. I want to help you build a fulfilling work/life balance that connects you with purpose and meaning, practice setting boundaries that support your sustainability and feeling connected in your relationships, all while avoiding burnout and compromised empathy.

As a long-time disabled person living with chronic illness, I am also passionate about supporting others at any stage of their chronic illness/pain journey. I understand the unique challenges of living a full life while navigating physical illness and pain, as well as the difficult journey of getting diagnosed and finding appropriate treatment. I have navigated my own medical trauma and am very familiar with the harms that occur at the hands of the Western medical system. I’ve supported many clients to work through the trauma of attempting to get adequate care and the pain of struggling to have our chronic pain/illness experiences heard, validated, and believed by medical professionals. A Level Two trained Sensorimotor Psychotherapist, I utilize the wisdom of the body and our human neurobiology to help you move through any emotional pain or trauma that’s been stored in the body, bring relief to a highly-sensitive and activated nervous system, and come to understand your symptoms better to help you to live more vibrantly with chronic illness.

I come to Kindman & Co. from a diverse background in community mental health, where I primarily helped clients from marginalized groups, like BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ folx, to navigate challenges related to systemic oppression, intersectional identities, and building community & thriving relationships. These experiences have prepared me to support clients who experience racial injustice, sexism, oppression, trauma, and are navigating pressures to conform to both family and societal expectations. Let’s help you untangle yourself from the trappings of who you’ve been told you should be to freely embrace and celebrate who you truly are!
