Kaitlin Simonette LPC, NCC

Licensed Professional Counselor,
Christian Counseling Associates
Kaitlin is the therapist for our Cancer Support Group. She is a licensed professional counselor, a wife, and a mom. She has provided mental health counseling for eight years and has a heart for meeting people where they are. A lot of times that can be in the midst of chaos and struggle. But one thing she has learned through her own experience is that we don’t need to endure hardship on our own. God has blessed us with the ability to be in a community with others and find support through Christ and the people he places in our lives.
