Caitlin Flynn

Caitlin earned her B.A. in Psychological and Brain Sciences from Washington University in St. Louis in 2022. Upon graduation, she worked as a therapeutic mentor at Fairwinds for nearly four years, where she discovered a passion for empowering others to navigate life’s challenges and build meaningful connections with what matters most to them. Caitlin is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling at the University of Massachusetts Boston. Now in her clinical internship year, she is excited to work directly with clients in a new role, learn from experienced clinicians, and continue serving the Nantucket community. She is passionate about reducing disparities in access to mental healthcare. Her clinical interests include: the processing power of play therapy for children, DBT skills and perspectives, existential and narrative approaches, OCD treatment, crisis work, and the therapeutic healing of nature and movement. A lifelong summer resident, Caitlin now lives on the island year-round and genuinely loves the cozy winters. In her free time, she enjoys exploring the island’s many trails with her dog, going to the beach, and baking new dessert recipes. Some fun facts about Caitlin are that she grew up in NYC and went to a music conservatory style high school, and her favorite holiday is Halloween!
