About Kaitlyn

Grounded. Present.
Walking alongside you.

Kaitlyn Pozorski is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in complex trauma, chronic illness, cancer, grief, and identity. She works with young adults and others navigating some of life's most disorienting chapters — the kind where the ground shifts beneath you and you're not sure who you are anymore or how to keep going.

What clients often describe about Kaitlyn is her presence. There's a grounded calm she brings to the room — the kind that doesn't rush toward resolution, doesn't minimize the hard, and doesn't ask you to be further along than you are. She walks alongside, steady and real, for as long as the journey takes.

"You don't need to arrive at healing already put together. You just need a safe place to begin."

Kaitlyn's work is rooted in a social justice framework — she understands that healing doesn't happen in a vacuum, and that the systems around us shape what's possible. She brings empowerment, authenticity, and deep respect for your autonomy to every session.

Clinical Approach

How Kaitlyn works
with clients.

Kaitlyn draws from a range of evidence-based frameworks and tailors her approach to each client's needs, history, and goals. She brings both clinical skill and genuine human presence to her work — and she knows that the relationship itself is often what makes the difference.

She is trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) — a powerful trauma processing modality that reaches what words sometimes can't — and integrates it alongside other approaches based on what each client needs most.

Areas of Focus

What Kaitlyn
works with most.

Kaitlyn specializes in the intersections of trauma, body, identity, and loss.
🛡️ Complex Trauma For adults carrying layered, long-term trauma — the kind that doesn't fit neatly into a single event and has shaped how you see yourself and the world.
🌿 Chronic Illness & Chronic Pain Support for the emotional weight of living with a chronic condition — the grief, the identity shifts, the exhaustion, and the ongoing negotiation with your body.
🎗️ Cancer & Serious Illness Walking alongside individuals and families navigating a cancer diagnosis — from the shock of diagnosis through treatment, survivorship, and whatever comes next.
🕊️ Grief & Loss Grief in all its forms — the loss of people, health, relationships, futures, and identity. All of it is valid, and all of it deserves space.
🌱 Young Adults A particular passion. Kaitlyn works with young adults navigating the complexity of early adulthood — identity, belonging, direction, relationships, and figuring out who they are.
💛 Identity Exploring and affirming identity — including cultural identity, gender, sexuality, and the ongoing work of understanding who you are in a world that doesn't always make space for it.
