Kaitlin Staples Vigo, MA

Licensed Professional Counselor

“I provide depth-oriented therapy for thoughtful, creative people navigating transition, identity, and questions of meaning. You may be moving through a major transition, questioning a relationship or direction in life, feeling disconnected from yourself, or simply sensing you want something more meaningful. Your inner world contains the answers, but together we can parse through the details of your history, thoughts, and actions to identify where your psyche is leading. For some this may be a place for containing what you're already pretty good at mining in yourself, and for others we will be more directly in the tunnels together. My clinical orientation integrates Psychodynamic, Humanistic, and Jungian frameworks. I bring to my work a deep appreciation for world travel, yoga, creativity, the arts, design, motherhood, divination practices, and the natural world. These aspects of my life inform and inspire my practice. ”

About me

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (PA), a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (NY), and a Registered, Board-Certified Art Therapist with over a decade of clinical experience. I’ve spent several years in Jungian seminar with the Philadelphia Association of Jungian Analysts and I am currently on sabbatical from the Interregional Society of Jungian Analysts Candidate Training Program. I’ve worked with individuals navigating a range of challenges—from mental health concerns to life transitions and existential questions. Not everyone who seeks therapy has a diagnosis; many are simply searching for insight, support, and meaningful change. Wherever you find yourself, therapy can offer a space to reflect, reorient, and realign with your inner life.

Approach

Utilizing tools such as dialogue, art-making, art analysis, and dreamwork, we can begin to uncover the symbolic nature of your life. Your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors exist for a reason. Life is complex, but it doesn’t have to feel unfulfilling or devoid of meaning. The answers to a more fulfilling life are already within you. Our work will circumambulate material that you bring to session within an empathetic, motivating, and creative environment. Within the container that we create we will help you to walk through your material to gain new insights, and help guide you to new directions, places of healing, or acceptance.
