Caitlin Crolley, LCSW

I’m Caitlin, a licensed clinical social worker and the founder of Winding Roots Wellness, PLLC. I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in social work from Kennesaw State University in Georgia, where I discovered my passion for trauma work and supporting young people. My early career included nonprofit, government, and community mental health settings, where I worked closely with youth, women, and families impacted by violence, instability, and chronic stress.
 

After relocating to Western North Carolina, my work deepened with teens and survivors of sexual violence, including serving as Lead Counselor at a local rape crisis center. There, I expanded my understanding of how trauma lives in the brain, body, and relationships—and witnessed firsthand how healing unfolds through connection, presence, and being deeply seen.
 

I later spent several years providing therapy in a therapeutic living program for adolescents, offering individual, family, and group support. This work strengthened my grounding in attachment-focused and trauma-informed care and sparked a lasting passion for supporting parents and families in repairing wounded connection.
 

Founding Winding Roots Wellness has allowed me to return to the heart of this work: offering individual therapy to teens and adults in a space rooted in trust, relationship, and deep emotional attunement.
