Caitlin Sulfridge, LMSW

About me

Hi!

My name is Caitlin and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in the state of Michigan. I have been providing therapy to individuals across the life span for about 6 years. I attended Michigan State University for my Bachelor’s degree and Western Michigan University for my Master’s Degree in the advanced standing program. Along with therapy I have been a medical social worker in hospice settings, in school settings and homebased family therapy. I have worked with many different individuals and genuinely enjoy seeing the change in the people that I have worked with over the years. I have extensive experience with grief/loss, caregiver stress/burnout, vicarious trauma, OCD, anxiety, depression, self-harm, ADHD and more!

I have a strengths-based perspective and am client centered. Everyone has strengths, but sometimes we cannot see them in ourselves. Your goals are my goals! I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) as well as other techniques depending on the specific needs/wishes of the client. I utilize a lot of mindfulness throughout my sessions as I think that being present in the moment seems simple but is actually quite a challenge for us all! I work with these techniques to help change negative thinking patterns, identify emotions, and elicit positive change!

Life is stressful and my job is to help you feel a little less stressed! Change is difficult, but oh so possible!
