Community Highlights: Meet Caitlin Palar of Caitlin with a C Healing Connections

Today we’d like to introduce you to Caitlin Palar.

Caitlin, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
In a nutshell I started wondering what I would do with my life after college graduation, knowing I wanted to be of service and offer hope and resilience to people who were going through hard times – I got my masters in social work. I didn’t intend to become a therapist but but now I’m in my 7th year and feel like I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Maintaining my own wellness and mental health while navigating my role in a broken health system has been my biggest challenge. I continue to work to create balance so I can show up in my caregiving roles with a full cup.

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Caitlin with a C Healing Connections?
I’ve just opened my therapy private practice but prior to this I was already organizing and facilitating group healing opportunities.

Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
One piece of networking advice I got recently is to connect with professionals in adjacent but not the same field, for example as a holistically minded therapist I network with acupuncturists, chiropractors, school administrators, etc because I’m going to get good referrals from professionals who know people who aren’t already in therapy. While I love being involved in a community of therapists they are probably not where my business is going to come from.
