Kaitlyn Fiedler

Hello, I’m Kaitlyn.

I believe hope and joy can be found through even the most difficult parts of life. I love helping teens and young adults find healing in the midst of challenging life circumstances. Whether you’re grieving the loss of a loved one, navigating a significant life transition, or choosing a career path, I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you grow and heal one step at a time. My goal as a therapist is to learn from you, work with you, and allow you the space to feel comfortable enough to completely be yourself.

About Kaitlyn

Becoming a counselor is not something I have taken lightly. I have spent the past 10+ years growing in my ability to sit with people experiencing hard circumstances and learning how to best help them. This work is not just a job, but a life passion of mine.

I have extensive experience in working with teens and adolescents.

While completing my undergraduate degree, I interned at New Haven Residential Treatment Center in Utah working with teenage girls with various psychological disorders. Upon graduation from Clemson, I interned with Clemson Baptist Collegiate Ministry where I discipled college girls in a ministry environment. I then went on to enroll in the Gordon-Conwell counseling program in 2021. While completing my graduate degree, I interned with Carolina Center for Behavioral Health, gaining experience on the in-patient adolescent ward. My final internship experience led me to a private practice setting in Greenville.

What I enjoy most about working with adolescents and young adults is meeting clients where they are and letting them know that it’s OK to feel whatever they are feeling. Our emotions can serve us rather than hinder us as they notify us of something going on which needs attention. If we slow down and listen, we can offer compassion to ourselves and appreciate where we are without trying to rush into changing too quickly which can lead to masking the symptoms rather than true healing.

Beyond the Therapy Room

I live near Greenville, SC with my husband and two young children. My favorite activities are perusing a farmer’s market, reading, or hiking with my family. I stay anchored through nature, my faith, and my own therapy. Something you should know about me is that I hold a biblical framework for the way I process the world around me. What this looks like in my work as a counselor is the ability for me to incorporate Christian faith into our sessions if desired. I also understand that each client holds their own beliefs, values, and experiences. I am sensitive to this and meet each client where they are.
