Hi, I am Caitlin Kohls, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Highland Park, IL. I’m excited you found my page and are considering starting therapy or continuing your therapy process. I understand that beginning a comfortable relationship with a new therapist can be tough, so I take pride in providing a cozy and safe atmosphere, whether you are sitting on the couch in my office or doing telehealth from your home.

I’m an empathetic, energetic, and kind person who is motivated to work alongside you to tackle your goals. If you appreciate a direct and driven approach, then I am a great fit for you! I’m ready to help if you are struggling with anxiety, depression, feeling discouraged about the season of life you are in right now, or working through some recent or past trauma. I hope to provide a compassionate approach that feels collaborative and individualized to you.

With expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I hope to build on your existing strengths and develop new, practical coping strategies. I want to know what motivates you and what you hope to achieve through our work together. This work should feel empowering by achieving a deeper understanding of yourself, creating plans to move forward, and navigate issues with care and respect. Every step you make toward a healthy and helpful change is worth celebrating!

See what our patients are saying about Caitlin Kohls

Caitlin is my favorite therapist I have ever had. She is the most fun person to talk to and I leave happier after seeing her every time. Caitlin invests a considerable amount of time and care into her clients, and I am lucky to be counted among them. She individualizes her care for her clients, and makes me feel incredibly safe, happy, and valued to share in her space. Our time together is never rushed, she lets me use our time to the max, and always is considerate of my schedule. Caitlin is an incredibly kind, focused, and fun therapist, and I am so appreciative to have begun this next chapter with her by my side. She makes my day brighter every time, and I am so thankful to have her as my therapist. Thank you, Caitlin! I don’t say this often, but you have changed my life.
