Caitlin Palar

I help empathetic, highly-sensitive people who feel stuck in patterns of masking, burnout, and people-pleasing overcome patterns of self-abandonment and reconnect to their authentic selves. I help people heal from childhood emotional neglect with a Generational Trauma-informed perspective. With specialization in EMDR therapy, I help clients make peace with their past so they can enjoy the gift of being present.

I use a mix of evidence-based tools like mindfulness, somatic practices, and practical coping strategies to help you manage the very real challenges of daily life - whether that’s emotional overwhelm, sensory sensitivity, or the constant pressure to hold it all together. I also use EMDR to gently work through the deeper wounds tied to masking, feeling misunderstood, or having to shrink parts of yourself to fit in. It’s a process of both coping with the now and healing the past, so you can feel more at home in who you are.

In your first session, you will be met with compassionate curiosity, where you will he heard and understood - not judged or criticized. You’ll leave with a few practical tools you can begin using right away to feel more grounded, supported, and steady in a world that often feels messy and chaotic.
