Frequently Asked Questions

Eos Psychotherapy offers a variety of counseling services including individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, and group therapy. Kaitlin is also available for consulting, coaching, workshops, and speaking.

Great question.  My first love in therapy is relationships. I love working with people who want their relationships to thrive. My clients are people who are dating, married, exploring kink, or struggling with an affair, parents looking for new strategies, people divorcing, and co-parents, people who are tired of anxiety running their relationships, and those struggling to set and maintain boundaries. I work with my clients to hear their relationships needs and help them achieve their goals. 

Clients who are "overachieving insecure perfectionists" are also in my wheelhouse. Consultants and people in start ups often fall into this category. 

Beyond relationships I have am qualified to treat a variety of mood disorders and specialize in anxiety. I am experienced in exposure and response prevention (ERP) the gold standard for treating OCD. I have personal and professional experience working with first responders, particularly firefighters and health care workers.  I have completed training Postpartum Support International to support families experiencing anxiety, depression, and OCD after the birth of a child. I have experience in treating trauma, particularly complex trauma, or the trauma that results from a thousand lifelong paper cuts.  

I was trained in a classic psychodynamic program. Here we are taught to use traditional therapy techniques to lead clients to their answers. Psychodynamic Psychotherapy often uses the past to examine present time behavior and helps the client to heal past trauma.

After graduation I was accepted into a two year fellowship where I received additional training in gold standard evidenced based practices. I have particular strength in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and the Gottman Method.  

As a result therapy with me combines helping a client towards a deep understanding of themselves while using evidenced based practices to decrease troubling symptoms. 

For Individuals: You will be given a choice between a full diagnositc evaluation, to lead the session yourself, or  to do what is called an unstructured clinical interview.  For the full diagnostic we will completed the SCID, a series of questions designed to tease out the nuances of a diagnosis. Clients who chose to lead the first session often have a specific story or burden they want help on and are eager to get the story off their chest. An unstructured clinical interview consists of both diagnostic and history questions designed to get a full picture of what is happening. Typically the first session, regardless of what you choose, will involve some time to goal set.  

Couples/Families: Each person will receive a thirty minute interview so I can understand your experience. It concludes with 30 minutes together or a 45 minutes session the next week to set goals and next steps.  

This is something we will negotiate together. Intake sessions are usually 60-75 minutes.  Standard sessions are 45 minutes. Some clients who are nearing the end of therapy will chose 30 minute sessions before going bi-weekly or terminating completely. 

For couples I strongly recommend hour long sessions as 45 minutes rarely long enough for both sides to feel their needs are attended to. 

30 minute session $60

45 minute session $90

60 minutes session $120

Individual intake session $120

Couples intake session $150

Sliding scale down to 50% is offered if you qualify due to finances or life circumstances.

Speaking, workshop, and consulting fees are negotiated. 

Pro bono and low bono services are available for eight sessions for those who qualify due to financial and life circumstances.

I do not. There are several practical reasons for this, including the ability to offer pro and low bono services. If your insurance allows for out of network providers I can issue Superbills to you which you may submit to your insurance for some amount of reimbursement. I also can work with Health Savings Accounts.

I offer sliding scale for both financial and circumstantial reasons. 

Yes. While I see people across the state of Indiana via Telehealth I have an office in Evansville, Indiana. Therapy can also take place during a walk, a hike, or for new moms I offer home visits. 

Eos is the Greek Titan responsible for opening the gates to allow her brother, the sun God Helios, to bring the dawn. In the lovely novel Cassandra in Reverse Holly Smale describes Eos in the following way:

"The Titan Eos has a really unfair reputation

Essentially the Bridget Jones of Greek mythology, the rosy-fingered bringing or dawn is known for two things: opening the gates every morning so her brother Helios can drive the sun across the sky and being cursed by Aphrodite with a really shit love life for all eternity. So, while most of Olympus is indulging in endless torrid love affairs and paring up like penguins the immortal Tian Eos dates, and fails, and dates, and fails. She’s the original rom-com heroine: forever focused on finding love, wearing shades of pink, seen by all the other gods as a bit of desperate loser. But of all the goddesses, I think Eos is the most powerful

Love is courageous thing to pursue, and to me Eos represents hope and resilience and light in the darkest hour. She represents the strength to keep trying even when you know you’re doomed. She represents new beginnings and refusing to accept defeat. She also represents the ability to change your husband into a cicada when he gets very old and kind of annoying.

What could possibly be more inspiring than that?"

Yes. Each of us has our own work to do and I am committed to mine. I would strongly recommend only seeing providers who can answer this question positively.  

Yes. I affirm all sane, safe, and consensual relationships. I have experience in working with those who are trans as well as their families. My graduate school capstone was on treating "swirl" couples (my friendly nickname for vanilla and kinky mixed couples).  Most of my experience is in working with individuals in poly relationships, I am happy to expand my clinical competency in that area as well.

I believe every person presents in the world with their own experiences that are culture and personality based. I can never assume to know a person's culture and trust your experience as you name it. As a therapist when I work with people, regardless of culture identity, I will employ my own personal reading and study in addition to listening to their experiences.

On a personal note I've lived in five countries and speak several languages well. While I loved my experiences abroad I also remember well what it was like to feel like a cultural fish out of water. From those experiences I learned much humility that I apply regularly in my practice.

This is a sticky question, but a fair one. I spent fifteen years of my career working as a chaplain and a pastor, here I learned deep respect for all spiritual walks of life including atheism. I became a therapist to gain more evidenced based perspectives, and work from a secular lens now. However, when my clients bring spirituality into our sessions I am a proficient provider for whatever they wish to explore from deepening spirituality to religious trauma. For those who wish I am able to provide pastoral counseling, but this is only by request.
