Kaitlyn Bruneau

My name is Kaitlyn and I am the owner of Curious Mind CBT. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from NYU Silver School of Social Work and an undergraduate degree in Psychology and Sociology from UConn (Go Huskies!) I am licensed in New York, Connecticut, Vermont, New Jersey, and Florida. I aim to create a therapeutic space that helps you process any difficulty you might be facing, whether that be work or school stress, past or recent trauma, or ongoing symptoms of anxiety or depression. I utilize my experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you identify what may be holding you back as well as what you might need to mobilize moving forward. My approach to therapy is collaborative and honest. I will be sure to meet you where you are, help you feel understood, and foster a strong therapeutic relationship. With me, you will feel comfortable and safe while expanding your way of thinking and reflecting on your past with new-found insight. I can help you learn and practice skills to break maladaptive patterns in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while instilling healthier coping skills so that you can be the best version of yourself. You deserve to feel like the best version of yourself and I want to help you get there! You can’t always predict what life has in store for you but I look forward to helping you feel confident and empowered in handling whatever that might be.
