Background

About Caryn Jooste

Irvin Yalom defines one of the most important functions of a group therapy leader to be someone who cares. I embrace this quality when I work with clients in both individual and group therapy, and consider myself to be a deeply caring and compassionate counselor, who creates an accepting and safe environment for individuals to express themselves. My work involves a collaborative approach to therapy, supporting individuals in developing important coping strategies and cognitive skills to improve their lives, and enhance their life story. My passion lies at the intersection of counseling and education with particular expertise in college student counseling, as well as drug and alcohol treatment and rehabilitation. The years I spent in industry contribute to my extensive experience in business administration where I gained valuable organization skills prior to my pivot to counseling and education
