Caitlin Ruderman

Caitlin has 3 years of experience as a therapist with 7 years total in the social work field.

Caitlin describes her therapeutic orientation as eclectic with an emphasis on trauma-focused psychodynamic and attachment-based work. Caitlin has always loved connecting with others and thinks that the human mind and human behavior are endlessly fascinating, complex, and rich. Being a therapist allows her to help others in profound ways that depend on connection and creativity while often challenging her intellectually, which contributes heavily to her feeling fulfilled in life. Caitlin notes that she truly cannot imagine doing anything that isn’t at least related to this work, and it feels like her calling is helping other people become the most authentic, healthy, fulfilled versions of themselves.
