Caroline Van Vooren

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate and an Outpatient Psychotherapist at Three Oaks Behavioral Health & Wellness. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and received my Master of Social Work at North Carolina State University. I believe a healthy foundation for therapy begins with establishing a strong client-therapist relationship rooted in empathy and compassion. From there, the work can begin with a collaborative effort to make change. I emphasize the importance of a safe environment that fosters vulnerability, understanding, empowerment, and growth for the client. My therapeutic approach is person-centered with a systems focus, understanding that no person exists in a void, rather we are impacted by and impact the systems we are a part of. I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I have experience with a wide range of psychological and relational issues including childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, social and relational well-being and identity. I am passionate about working with young adult men and women.
